Preperation

Once I had made up my mind on starting this project, the first thing I needed to do was familiarise myself with the BJCP Style Guide.

Here is a link to the full PDF version of the 2008 Style Guide, which is the latest version:

Wow. 73 pages. There's no way that I have time to sit down and read this from start to finish. In addition, I don't think that if I read it that way I would necessarily digest much.

Thanks to modern technology I have been able to get a copy of the guide on my phone.

This app has been great. I have basically spent most mornings on the way to work reading the guide slowly. It's relaxed and it's also an easy way to digest little chunks at a time.
