Sorry, I got caught up with some housework before my trip on Thursday. I have everyone's info and I will be sending out the emails tonight regarding the tasting groups. It sounds like we have a couple of stragglers, but we are still on track.
A few posts back we talked about the "overall" judging to be performed on the Session. In an effort to not inundate them with all 16 beers, and consume an entire Session with a boring competition, we decided that we would each collectively pick a "tasting group winner" - and have that person send theirs into HQ. To keep it impartial, you will not be judging your own brew. You will each send your beer out to four people. You will receive 4 beers from four other people. When you get together as a tasting group, you can feel free to sample your own for comparison - but the others in your group will not have your beer. It sounds a little complicated, but it will all be clear in the email... Each group should choose a leader that will document the findings of the group - perhaps in a BJCP tasting sheet that can be sent to the brewer.
I think it would be easy enough to set up four virtual tasting rooms in the chat - maybe during the March 30th Session? That will give Crut and Lars enough time to get their beers out.
How does that sound?
