[foodhackingbase] Off-flavour tasting at congress

[Frantisek Apfelbeck]

Hi Mark and all,any progress on the off-flavour tasting event at the congress? I'm sorry it took longer to announce it because of the mailing list being down, now it is sorted so I hope people will show interest and announce their participation. Please do sign me in, I need to be on this one because of my beer brewing and tasting activities.
Sincerely from Jejudo, Frantisek Algoldor Apfelbeck

PS I will hit Czech Republic around 22-24th of October, will visit Normandy for a week few days later and will be back before 10th of November so maybe I will see you somewhere in Czech?

 Hi Foodhackingbase!

I want to do a beer related off-flavour tasting during congress. I
already ordered a BJCP off-flavour kit (I'm a BJCP member), which should
arrive within two months. However, this kit needs to be kept
refridgerated and I don't know how well that works when it is posted
internationally.

The order is already placed with the BJCP, but there are some question,
whether it will arrive in a good condition in Hamburg. I'll also ask the
BJCP education director, whether we can use my personal judge kit for
this purpose.

Cost per kit is approx. 120 eur (incl. taxes and postage), the contents
is enough for 20 persons. So the goal would be to raise 10 eur per
person and the reimburse me with 120 eur and have 80 eur for the fhb.

I would like to schedule this at a time when people can get nights
passes, when we're in the venue. Alternatively I would like to schedule
this during the evening. This is more friendly for people who have to
work and I'm not a big friend of tasting beer during the day - you're
mostly tired after it and the alcohol doesn't help.

The kit includes flavour compounds that are mixed with 'neutral' beer
and then served.

The kit includes a flyer on how to doctor some additional flavours (e.g.
sour). I'll be buying some neutral beer, get some bread and water. I
don't have sufficient glassware to accomodate 20 people, but will try to
get some plastic glasses.

Off-flavours in the kit:

Acetaldehyde (green apple, cut grass)
Butyric Acid (putrid, baby vomit)
Diacetyl (butter, butterscotch)
DMS (cooked corn or vegetables)
Earthy (geosmin, soil-like)
Ethyl Acetate (solvent-like, nail polish remover)
Ethyl Hexanoate (aniseed, apple or licorice)
Geraniol (floral, geranium flowers)
Indole (farm, barnyard)
Isovaleric Acid (cheesy, old hops, sweat socks)
Papery (oxidized, cardboard)
Spicy (cloves, all-spice)

See you there!

Regards, Mark
