The Learn Section

Just a thought.......

Have you considered taking the information there and having a PDF file for people to download? This is information I would love to be able to print out, make notes in the margins, sit up at night sipping wine or sake, and let it flow in to the thickest 6 inches -my head- around.

Also can you recommend any good books on Sake?

Re: The Learn Section

We have talked about downloadable content several times, but we want to make sure sake basics can be done on the site without paying for it. I think we agree premium content should be focused on certification vs. basic learning. However, regarding books Beau is an excellent author we have a few excerpts from his book "Sake, A Modern Guide" on the site.

Technically our site can handle electronic delivery, but there is a ton of work we need to do to make it function correctly. It is on our radar :)

Jason.... you cant have mine! LOL

On a serious note, adding on to creating a downloadable version of text, Beau why not do a video every so often. Some people dont have the patience or desire to read, but a video education series would be great. Just a 10 min segment on things like quality levels and breakdown, what to look for in tasting, detailed sections on each quality level, brewing process, etc....... but with a lot of fun involved.

I guess it is because I am trying to learn about this brew and I am not finding what I need, thing that my Som could answer for me when I had questions about wine.

Thanks.
