North Texas Homebrew Supply will be holding a beer off flavors class this coming Sunday, July 30th from 2-4 pm.
If you are not sure what some of the common off flavors, such as diacetyl, dms, oxidation etc, actually smell and taste like, this is a great class to take. If you just want to improve your own beer, or want to improve your judging (think Limbo judging!) quality, I highly recommend this course, having taken it 2 years ago.
You can sign up at the following link Off-Flavor Class
I am writing the Blog post for Bill Lawrence so I will attempt to pontificate in the style of Bill.

We need judges. Judging starts on Friday August 4th. Marcio has been talking to folks about judging. We currently have 15 judges in the BCOEM system.

Last night Harry Anderson, Jason Garland, David Bierschenk and Terry Olinger judged nine very good beers that spanned nine different styles and after spirted discussions the gold went to Doug Hicks with his Berliner Weisse, the sliver went to Rob Edger with his Red IPA, and a bronze was awarded to Mark Rendon for his American Lager.
You can see the results over at coc.nthba.org and download your score sheet.
Thanks to North Texas Homebrew Supply for allowing us their store for few hours.
Reminder you collect Brewer Royale points for being a COC judge.
Thanks again to all who entered, the next COC will be in September, registration will open September 1st and close the day of the September club meeting (COC takes place on the odd numbered months).
Cheers !
