This email is going out to all BJCP judges in Minnesota, as well as the metro area homebrew clubs. I apologize if you get more than one copy of this. The Minnesota Home Brewers Association will be sponsoring a BJCP exam on Saturday, April 29, at 9am. The exam will be held at the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis Campus. We will meet at 8:30am at the Coffman Union, at the Great Hall fireplace, and proceed from there promptly at 8:45am to a nearby classroom where the exam will be administered. Many of you have sufficient judging and volunteer points to go up a level in the BJCP, and are only shy a few points on either the tasting or the written portion. Please contact me if you would like to know how many points you have, and what your past scores were on the taste or written portions of the exam. I can also help you get your password so that you can log on to the BJCP website and check out your record for yourself. You may re-take both sections for $30, or take just one section (recommended) for only $15. Here are the BJCP Levels, and the score and points required to earn each level, to refresh your memory: Level Exam Score Points Service Req Apprentice Less than 50 Recognized 60 or better 0 Certified 70 or better 5 National 80 or better 20 Master 90 or better 40 Grand Master 90 or better 100 Yes Please let me know prior to April 19 if you would like to re-take the BJCP exam to better your score, so I can prepare for you at the test (I will be on vacation between April 19-April 27). YOU WILL NOT BE SEATED FOR THE TEST UNLESS YOU NOTIFY ME IN ADVANCE THAT YOU ARE RE-TAKING IT!!!
