I wanted to touch base about your use of the recipe collection in Brewing Classic Styles. I see you are in Texas too so maybe I could meet you when I'm down in Houston for the weekend - I'd love to buy you a beer!
As far as the BCS recipes collection, these are being used without permission and as a collection they are a violation of the copyright. I wish there was a nicer way to put that but it is what it is. I do, however, understand why it was done and think it can be a valuable resource. What I'd like to do is work towards a solution that would honor the work that you have done but that would also include proper attribution and compensation for my author. I think we could work something out that would turn out mutually beneficial for both parties. What say you?
If you want to discuss over a beer, I can arrange to come to Houston one weekend soon and we could meet to discuss possibilities of how we could best move forward together. In the meantime, I'd appreciate it if you could remove the collection from the site until we get this resolved. Please send me a link when you are done - my work email is
[email protected] and my direct home office line is xxx-xxx-xxxx. Call anytime, I'm sometimes in and out as I'm working on a new manuscript about IPA's (thirsty work!) but I will get back to you if I miss your call.
Cheers~
