Signed up. FWIW, there is a free General Chemistry class if anyone needs to learn or refresh their basic chemistry knowledge. Given the fact that the Chemistry of Beer class is a 4000 level class, it will jump right in and assume that you have a working knowledge of chemistry.

I think the General Chemistry class is already underway. It wont let me click on it.
Awesome, thanks for the heads up! I'm definitely signing up

Not brewing... but some might be interested in this class that just started:
HarvardX: Science & Cooking: From Haute Cuisine to Soft Matter Science
Coursera has some pretty cool courses too.

Thanks for the link

If you've never had formal chemistry/organic chemistry classes then some of the concepts may leave you confused (I'm basing this on what they said were 'requirements' and how high the course number is.) That said, it doesn't hurt (or cost anything) to at least start it. If you get lost you can just drop it and move on, but perhaps it will have enough material at a level to be beneficial. I hope so - my chemistry & ochem is very rusty since I haven't done anything with it for almost 25 years

Dang. There is no way that I could catch up in time.
Just signed up. I really hope stands up to a true 400 level course. I hate watered down beer.
Now 400 level today may not be what it were 35 years ago...when I studied chemistry at the UvA in Amsterdam.

I signed up too!
Once the class starts, maybe those who have signed up should start another thread to share thoughts and help out with assignments and such?
Should be a very interesting time!

Great find, thank you for the link! I just signed up, assuming the chemistry might be a bit over my head but for free its worth trying.

what the hell, why not, sounds like it might be pretty interesting!
Signed up for the Basic Chem for a review and also for the Brewing Chem. Can't wait for January!
Working to catch up on the basic chem but it's well done.

My last advanced chemistry class was in 1982, as were my advanced math classes. Hopefully, it all comes back to me!
Nice more help. I squeaked by at OU both Chem1 and 2...and said screw it no more Chemistry! It's the devils magic. That was 10 years ago so we'll see how this turns out. I'm going to try and find those old books. This is an upper level chem course so it worries me a bit.Yooper said:My last advanced chemistry class was in 1982, as were my advanced math classes.

IN. User name: grebe
Signed up, started the beginner chem and remembered why I avoided chem classes at all cost. (Thankfully my major in construction management seemed more focused on physics...) Oh well. For beer I am willing to suffer through these classes
So I wonder if we are going to skew the stats on their online class participation with the hundreds of brewers signed up... lol!

They broke my clay tablets when I moved, so I hope I remember my classes!

Now I feel old! My last Advanced classes were in 1980-1981 with my Culinary Arts classes in 1985!
Just tell them you have enrolled in CHEM4970 at the University of Oklahoma, and it is a Chem/Biochem coarse which focuses on the theory as applied to a practicle examples. they will be well impressed
They didn't even have the interwebs when I went to college (the first time) ; just dial up 1200baud modems that you *might* get a response from... We wrote our code in cuneiform.
