Baloney! (Or "balogna, if you like.)<br>I won't push you into it by any means, but think about it: judging is about learning faults in brewing and learning style guidelines. It has nothing to do with brewing good beer. One could be an excellent judge never having brewed a pint. Learning about good beer and brewing good beer are different, but bet your last nickel the one will help with the other. The more you know how good and bad beer tastes the better you can make your own. The opposite does not always apply.
<br>Think about it.<br>[BTW, did Erin J send you something to resign?]<br>T<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 2/11/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">Debra Beasley</b> <<a href="mailto:debra.beasley@gmail.com">debra.beasley@gmail.com

<p style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">There was some discussion
at the last meeting about a BJCP study<br>
group. Just wanted to let you know that KROC and Foam on the Range <br>
(Boulder and Denver clubs) are putting one together for a
test coming<br>
up in November.<br>
<br>
I don't really want to drive to Boulder
every week, so I will not be<br>
participating. I can wait till we can get something going
here. But <br>
I thought I'd forward this along to anyone who might be interested.<br>

All,<br>
<br>
After this e-mail I'll be using a BJCP e-mail list but<br>
wanted to make sure that you know what's going on and<br>
if you're interested and serious about joining our<br>
study group and taking the BJCP Exam on November 4th, <br>
this is your opportunity.<br>
<br>
The initial BJCP kick-off meeting will be held at the<br>
Falling Rock on Tuesday, Feb 21st from 7:00pm-9:30pm.<br>
Jon Sanders and I will create an agenda in the next<br>
day or so and get it sent out to everyone. Please <br>
visit the BJCP website to get familar with the program<br>
and there is a direct link from the KROC website.<br>
<br>
As you saw on my last e-mail we have an overwhelming<br>
response from both KROC and FOTR to participate in the <br>
study group. This may allow us to have 2 groups that<br>
could meet on different nights which is really a great<br>
thing especially if you travel or just can't make it.<br>
There are several people in the group who have already <br>
taken the exam and have been judging for a while so<br>
there will be a great deal of experience available<br>
too.<br>
<br>
Here is who I have on the list so far from our club<br>
and others up North:<br>
<br>
Jim Fixari<br>
Sean Welsch<br>
Scott Jackson<br>
Mike Rotert<br>
Cary Floyd<br>
Deb Lee<br>
Geoff Bruce<br>
Zach Hedgewood - ??<br>
Rich Krahl<br>
Mitch Mather<br>
Michael Mozdy - ??<br>
Laki - Hop Barley<br>
Paul Dey - High Plains Drafters (Exam Admin?) <br>
<br>
Please let me know if I forgotten anyone and I'll<br>
create the final BJCP e-mail list.<br>
<br>
It's a lot of hard work but a lot of fun and you'll<br>
increase your brewing knowledge and thus make better<br>
beer. But YOU'LL be the judge of that!! <br>
<br>
Jim<br>
