Audio and slides from this year's AHA conference is now available to members at http://www.homebrewersassociation.org/pages/lets-brew/homebrewing-seminars/2012.  What were some of the best seminars?

I'd say Michael Fairbrother's Mead Excellence was my favorite, but some of that is because I was there drinking his awesome mead.   
Best one to read/listen to now?  I'd say Greg Doss' Exploring Fermentation Attenuation is my current vote.  Still have to listen to a few of them though.

I'll throw my hat in the ring for the Berliner Weisse presentation.

I've listened to the AHA Members meeting (missed it when I was there...I must have been drinking or something ), and Neva's Fermentation Myth Busters.  Currently listening in the car to Brewguyvering (well not this second), but it's really hard since I think Kent had a lot of stuff there to show.

This is a great idea...thank you for recording these!!  Maybe next year you can get directional mic's to hear the questions being asked in the audience

I'm enjoying the Berliner Weisse one right now.  But I'm a BW fan and just began dabbling with this style.

I learned quite a bit at that one, too.

Fermentation Mythbusters was great.  I think maybe my favorites were Greg Doss on attenuation and Stan Hieronymous on hops.

Just listened to Neva's "Fermentation Myth Busters" yesterday and really enjoyed it and got quite a bit out of it.  Not ashamed to admit that I answered a few of those myths wrong and really taken aside at how "little" extra cell count a  1L yeast starter produces compared to what I thought and was told it did.

I agree that Fairbrother's talk was great.  And I stewarded for him (and Gordon Strong) at the mead table. Both very nice guys, and while I had never had meads before, I've bought a few since.  And bought Schramm's book.  Maybe someday........

Same here!

Jennifer Talley's presentation "Thank You, I'll Have Another," which is about session beers is quite interesting.  It starts out really slowly about what is a session beer, but once it gets more technical it gets to be quite interesting.
