What time or is it simply a canned presentation and you can log on whenever? I could not find anything in my emails about a class time nor anything on their website other than a date.

EDIT: Yup, no set time, view at your leisure.

you can log on whenever you like. the lessons are all videos. i might set up a beer borg discussion group there.

edit: group created, the password to join is nyuYDvqAseg

Quick note... at least for me, Chrome is not working (can't view videos or text in lesson). Firefox works fine. They posted that they had had some technical problems, so I don't know if that's related, but if you have problems with Chrome, I'd try another browser for now...

They must have fixed it. Working fine on Chrome for me.

Yep, that's what I've been using is Chrome. Seems to all be working alright.

yup using chrome too and its workin fine

Really looking forward to this. I think any early Chrome probs have been solved by Next Thought. Mine works anyway.

M00town Rufus, how do I get into the borg group? I tried entering "Beerborg" then the PW. No go. Thanks for making that.

PS Any comments posted on that Beer Chemistry forum will be mine alone and do not reflect the views of management, i.e., BB1. Like for example, if I post that BMC is not actually beer or that Pride of Ringworm is not a actually hops. It is a open classroom environment right? Freedom of speech without blowback.

Same here.

And no offense to chemistry geeks out there, but I figure the beer knows what it's supposed to do. If I provide a good environment, I'll get good beer.

I've watched the vids and then began to read the "required material" down under the vids. This is going to be pretty complex but I'll survive. I had all kinds of chemistry in college.

Can someone please post the steps they took to join the discussion group? Thanks.

Dave: I am not very well-equipped either (business major - avoided all sciences) but I think picked up a basic understanding from the general chemistry course available online, same website. I am sure the borg members will help each other through it. My thinking is: if I can make beer without this knowledge I can surely do it better if I understand the science better. You seem pretty technical minded to me. If you join in to have a look then hate it just don't log back in.

I got it finally: its kind of hinky. Click contacts tab then click users sub-tab. Click Join down at bottom of screen. Type beerborg, enter (letting it return an error) copy the password from philm00x post OVER the word beerborg. You're in.

Thanks for posting that. I don't know if I would ever have figured it out.
