BJCP Study Group
Jersey City Brew Club BJCP Study Group
There has been a great recent interest by members to form a comprehensive group to hone brewing skills. The Beer Judge Certification Program requires a well rounded and thorough knowledge of all things beer. We will be covering not only the what of different styles of beer and how they ought to taste and smell, but the why as well. Ever wonder why your homebrew might taste like bubble gum or wet cardboard? Well, you will find out.
BJCP requires an in depth knowledge of homebrewing techniques. If you are interested in becoming a certified or just want to sharpen your brewing knowledge, all Jersey City Brew Club members are welcome to join the BJCP study group. The study group will meet for 11 weeks (see comprehensive schedule below). In order to afford a meeting space, and to cover the cost of beer and other materials there is a $70 cost per person. The cost was calculated as conservatively as possible.
It is essential that each person to sign up be a dues paying JCBC member for this course. The BJCP course will make use of the new JCBC library. Yearly JCBC dues are $10, and can be given to President/Treasurer Kendall at any meeting or on the first day of the BJCP study group meet-up.
The first BJCP Study Group meeting will be held on February 26, 2014 at 7:30 pm. Each meeting will run for 2 hours. Books will be distributed and assigned on that day. Between the first and second meeting we will have about one month to read the study materials. Readings in between weeks will also come suggested for each coming meeting. Please come expecting to participate. This is not a class, no one particular person will be giving a lecture for two hours every week. Everyone will be asked to give some brief overview of a particular subject that is covered in their books.
Our outline will follow almost exactly the outlined course on the BJCP website. It is highly suggested that all who sign up visit and explore the BJCP website. http://www.bjcp.org/study.php
It is also suggested that you refrain from taking the practice test, as it will be more useful to you by the time we finish.
