Would love to see this, but I have other commitments during the scheduled time
I have the same problem as Robert Burns. Could the session be recorded for future viewing by members at a time convenient to them?
I am looking forward to seeing the webinar but am confused by the logo and intro above that is taken from last year’s webinar. Does this mean that “Advanced Chemistry…” will not be presented next Thursday? I much appreciate your custom of archiving the webinars, and I have enjoyed the ability of seeing some of the ones I have missed because of conflicts, but in this case I plan to alert a friend who has recently opened his own commercial brewery about the upcoming webinar and don’t want to mislead him about the content.
where is this held?
Excellent presentation. Thank you, TMG
Similarly, I have other committments. Any chance of a repeat performance?
Same here.
I’m a AP Calculus and Chemistry teacher at a HS, would LOVE to see this – but can’t.
Will there be a posting of this Webinar later? (recording)
I too am unable to attend due to scheduling issues. I would really love to view this webinar. Would it be possible to have the session recorded?
+1 for the recorded webinar. I can’t make that time but o really want to catch this! Please record and post for us!
Thanks
I second the recording for future viewing.

Interesting presentation, thanks!
I have Celiac disease and brew my own sorghum beer. Does anyone else have experience using non-traditional grains for homebrewing?
