I am exited to be the Minister of Education for the club this year. Since there was no minister of education last year and I have been a member of the club for only one year, I would like to start by asking for input from all of you on the educational topics and events which would be interesting and helpful to you.
I would like to get input from as many of you as possible.
The input I am looking for is:
Topics
- What beer and brewing topics interest you right now? Is there a new style everyone should know about, or an old idea to bring back?
- What do you want to learn to improve your brewing?
- What have you learned that you want to teach?
- What do you want to know about other club members’ brewing? Would a survey of members equipment or techniques be interesting?
Type of educational sessions
Besides newsletter articles, what kind of educational events are you interested in?
- Tasting or sensory demonstrations such as dosing a beer with varying amounts of water salts, or an off-flavors class.
- Guest experts at meetings
- Technique demonstrations at brew days
- Experiments?
Anything Else?
There are whole categories of educational ideas that I haven’t thought of, so if you have more ideas please let me know!
Cheers!
David
