I have been home brewing for about two years now, and having finally purchased a fridge and temperature control unit, decided it was time to truly get into brewing different styles. I have been doing all-grain brewing for some time as well now (about a year) and am finally comfortable enough with the process to begin focusing on brewing different styles of beers.
Why the BJCP? To better answer that question the first thing should be to define what the BJCP is.
The BJCP, according to their website is an organisation that is here "... to promote beer literacy and the appreciation of real beer, and to recognize beer tasting and evaluation skills."
In order to further my own skills as a home brewer, beer taster, evaluator and to further increase my appreciation for all things beer, I decided the best way to go about this was to follow the BJCP Style Guide beer-by-beer. To read up on what goes into each type of brew, evaluate existing beers cited as examples, concoct my own recipes and create brews based on what the BJCP Style Guide says they should be.
