Here is some info on the course:

Our online learning program that teaches you to recognize common beer off-flavors including those required for the Certified Cicerone exam.

This class takes a novel approach to online learning by linking standardized tasting materials shipped to you in advance of the class with an online lecture to help you learn.

When you register for this course, you will receive calibrated tasting spikes that you add to beer to quickly and easily create off-flavor samples for the tutored tasting session.

The 75-minute class will cover:

Tasting technique
Flavor variations: fruity flavor
Discussion and tasting of 5 key off-flavors:
DMS
Diacetyl
Oxidized
Acetlaldehyde
Infection

The registration fee for this course includes

If you're a big fan of beers from Stone Brewery like I am than this might interest you. I'm not sure why this occured to me last night during the Barron Von Micho's presentation on mexican lagers but it did (good job by the way Micho, I enjoyed it along with the beers). Maybe my subconscious was yearning for a few more IBU's or a little more ABV than mexican lagers deliver but which Stone typically does - sometimes to excess!

Anyway, last summer I came across my July/August 2006 Zymurgy magazine which has the recipes for Stone Brewery's 5th through 9th anniversary ales. It states in the article to contact White Labs for their yeast recommendations for these ales, so I did. I thought I'd share their recommendations with the club for those who'd like to more accurately clone some of their beers.

I tried the extract version of #7 and it was delicious! I also attached the recipes for your convenience.

What makes a beer "Mexican-style"? Don't just think about crappy Corona. Amber lagers, Chili beers, and this past winter Del Dorte even came out with a Mexican Christmas Bock.

Ribbons will be awarded for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd.

There is also a prize for the best beer name, so be creative.]]> Scott J Events/Competitions Tue, 04 May 2010 13:09:13 -0600 http://www.foamontherange.org/forums/read.php?3,89,89#msg-89 http://www.foamontherange.org/forums/read.php?3,89,89#msg-89 Date: 2010-04-24, 3:00PM MDT

Price is still $0.75/lb on the wheats.

Additionally, there's a possibility they may be able to get some roasts in for April as well. Pricing not determined 100% yet. From the thread:

I just had an interesting E-mail from Jason. He has recently brought a drum roaster on-line. He is willing to make us some roasted malts if we would be interested.
He can offer Roasted Barley, Roasted Malt, Roasted Wheat and Roasted hulless barley. All of these would be $1.00 a pound for something very custom and unique.
He is also willing to run through a batch of specialty malt. He noted that while his specialty tank will be busy with a custom batch for New Belgium, he should be able to run something through for us by April 27th.

If you're interested in the grain buy, just post what/how much you're interested in and it'll get tallied - every so often they'll post the current counts. Probably around mid-april they'll send out a PM to confirm everyone's counts, and they'll finalize it on the 23rd. Delivery will be Tue the 27th, as of now it will be in the Park Meadows parking lot. Cash payment preferred at time of delivery. Last time there was a 3% CO State tax added, however I understand that will not be the case this time (you might plan for it anyway, just in case). There's also a $50 delivery charge, however since we'll be over 2000# I believe that gets dropped as well.

If necessary, you could arrange for payment/pickup with someone who'll be there and is in your area.

Looks like most people are going for the Pale and Pils, with a few of the red or white wheat.

If I understand the whole thing correctly there's a $50 delivery charge for the entire order, which will be delivered to the Park Meadows area on Tue 27 Apr (they want to finalize the order by Fri 23 Apr).

Prices are currently $0.65/# for the Pale and Pils, and $0.75/# for the wheats. We're already over 1000#, and if we make 2000 the delivery fee will get dropped. Were we to make 3000, the Pale/Pils prices drop to $0.49/#.

Lagers take twice as much yeast and twice as much time. Some always do a diacetyl rest and others don't.

It is recommended to start a diacetyl rest when the fermentation is 2/3 done (or around 50% of the original gravity). So you can check the gravity after 10-14 days and see where things are at. Then just let the temprature warm up 10-15 degF (I let it go at my basement temperature) for 2-3 days. Then transfer off the yeast cake and slowly decrease the temperature about 5 degF per day until you get down to lagering temperautre of 30-32F. Then let it lager for one week per degPlato of original gravity.

So it should be ready just in time for the picnic!]]> Tom Brewing Discussion Mon, 08 Mar 2010 12:57:21 -0700 http://www.foamontherange.org/forums/read.php?2,64,72#msg-72 http://www.foamontherange.org/forums/read.php?2,64,72#msg-72
