I signed up. We will see how much ochem I remember come January. I always liked ochem, where most of my friends folks hated it. The liner vs. non linear thing (moar != moar)

in life patience is a virtue
in brewing it is a requirement

Im all in. Nice find!

Along those lines, here is a recording of a webcast on Advanced Chemistry of Brewing and Beers from the ACS. Its only an hour so I am sure it is nowhere near as detailed as the other one.

Gman, you da - er - man. I signed up for this and meanwhile am doing the Chemistry course. Very excited about this. My science is nil.
Please, classmates, add "brewbirds" to the classroom buddy list and send me a message with your logon name & we can help each other.

I promise not to look on your papers :p but, right off the bat, I didn't understand the Chemistry question where it has you choose which container to measure 9.2 ml - I went for the small one thinking it would have smaller decimals. It doesn't explain why it chose the other one. Anyone figure that out?

This course requires a background in general chemistry and organic chemistry. I have neither.

Im not too concerned about it. I had it YEARS ago and doubt I remember a whole lot. Im not too concerned about getting an "A" to get my money's worth as it is free and I am sure I will learn a few things (I hope).
