Would there be interest in doing a club buy on one of these Off Flavor sample kits for meets? It's $250 but if there's enough interest ths cost could be spread to a few quid per person:

Need to think about a venue for this as well. I don't think it's going to work at a regular meet up.

Just a suggestion:

These kits are quite expensive. Each vial iirc makes up 1 litre of doctored beer.

Far too much for a small group of you.

What you could do is just use half of each vial in 500 ml and sell the rest of the kit on to another group!
Remember: The Nationals are just round the corner - time to get brewing

The vials are enough for twenty 50ml samples, so if another club wants to go halves it would be cool.

"The subsidized kit for members costs US$100 (shipping included). A member may order one kit per year at this price. " - http://www.bjcp.org/cep/kits.php
What counts as a BJCP member? How many do we have?

johnrm

There are about 20 members in waiting.
It should be possible to get the $100 deal.
I have emailed BJCP to see what the story is.

Would a half-day cover this?
24 flavours at 10mins is 4 hours - I reckon it could be done in about 2

Maybe do the off-flavours the afternoon of Monochrome.

Does that include delivery?
