As mentioned in my previous post, after some persistent urging from a fellow brewer, I shall prepare for and take the BJCP exam.
My friend Eric, who has given the BJCP exam a great deal of thought has amassed a substantial amount of study material for the exam and our goal is to work together to get ready for the exam.
Here is the tentative plan. If you have any thoughts on the approach I would love some feedback.
The exam is schedule for March 20, 2010. This falls a couple of months before graduation, and a therefore a good amount of time before I have to start preparing in earnest for another important exam.
We expect that getting together one night a week, every other week, will be enough to work through the material between now and the exam date.
I have yet to take a complete inventory of the study materials, but from a first glance they appear to be pretty thorough.
Now what may be the most exciting part. The podcast.
As you may know Mike the Hop Guy and I released a podcast that released episodes in fits and starts. Our content revolved largely around Mike's efforts at growing homegrown hops and my involvement in the legalization of the homebrewing hobby in Utah. It has been some time since I've been able to release a podcast episode (over seven months). I am hoping that the story of preparing for the BJCP exam will be some compelling material for those who might be interested in the exam themselves.
