Just a note, our usual National level judge for the exams is off the 'Murica to live. Ali Kocho-Williams will likely not be available.

I saw that Reuben - I think Sam is now National - so we can ask him nicely  :)

Either way it will be Q1 2019 - but it doesn't mean we cant hammer away with the course and get people educated.

We are still aiming to start end of august - people can feel free to add their names to this list.

Quick update ...

Just to let people know how this works...

There will be 8 classes - a higher attendance class will include off-flavours (might be 30 mins longer)

Classes will cost 15 euro each - please select your favorite dates... you can select more than eight - you only pay for the classes you can make.
At the end, we will select the most popular eight (with students and facilitators) - so there will only ever be 8 classes.

We cant take money at the venue or on the day - its all paid for in advance - as we have to order all the bits well in advance.

Venue is hopefully the BrewDock - kickoff is 1130 / 1145 - TBA with venue - No need to pay anything just yet - we will get all our ducks in a row first.

We recommend students attend the 8 classes but, if thats not possible - try to make a minimum 4 classes to get a proper grounding on judging and make a special effort to attend the off-flavour class which is very important.

We like to have 12-16 per class.

We are going to make a special effort this year to use the contacts the club has to get beers in which are not available in Off-Licenses in Ireland - so thats exciting.
There will also be some talks from Ireland Best Homebrewers past and present and hopefully some pro brewers, to help identify flaws, qualities and provide feedback to homebrewers.

Really looking forward to it, I think an important part of brewing is understanding how to taste, analyse and judge a beer.

So - fill in the doodle - hopefully we can run eight bumper classes - which will help us get the best beers in.

I may be mentioned it in earlier posts - the mock exam and official BJCP tasting exam are separate to this course, you can attend these without the course - but course attendees are given 'first dibs' on exam seats. We are hoping to secure the exam in Q1 2019 and the 'mock exam' is a couple of weeks before to get everyone in the mood - (paid separately).
:)
Any questions or queries - just hollar -

Otherwise  - just fill in the doodle here

Thanks

Peter / Phil / Colm / Andrew / Rossa / James

Hi,
Due to a change of job, I'm going to be away or working a lot of weekends from September onwards, so I'm going to have to withdraw my name from the interested list.

Maybe another time.

Good luck to those continuing on!

Partridge9

No worries at all - Sure you can catch it next time  ;)

If you can commit to dates, add your name to the doodle - we're aiming for 12-16 a class and that isn't fully filled yet.

To be honest - membership is only 10 euro - so easiest is to just join.
If he is only joining for the course thats ok.

We are lining up some pretty good beers for the tasting -so Im sure he will love it !
