I am not saying you can not make a great beer at home but you have nearly zero repeatability and the variables that go into a batch smaller than 3bbls are far to many to control.
Cite? That's a very strong claim & one contrary to my experience.

This is more of a common knowledge thing. If you are making the same IPA or RIS sure it will taste good but the same? Prob not and here is just a few reasons why!Cite? That's a very strong claim & one contrary to my experience.
I don't think homebrewer is a derogatory term. Further, if someone out there has a negative image of homebrewing, that's their problem. I have no time for that kind of attitude.
Anyone remember this? For those who weren't here for it, we (a bunch of members here at HBT) made this video about 5 years ago. The thread is here. I'm in there about 5 times.

Once again this is not saying homebrewers are getting close or making bad tasting beer but to claim to be on par with commercial breweries is flat out outlandish when talking about repeatability.

I am not a homebrewer, I am a yeast rancher. It sucks that making beer is the best way to raise them.
Isn't it a bit silly to gripe about being called a homebrewer on "homebrew talk forums"...
Call me D-bag if you want I don't care. I just make beer and couldn't care less what others think
[ame]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w72-IsHVoIY[/ame]I to find it rather irritating when some says something along the lines of "what's wrong with you? Did you drink to much homebrew?" When they say homebrew they use it in a derogatory manner. To me it's all about the tone it is said in and the context that it has been put into. I usually refer to myself as a craft brewer not homebrewer. It sounds more fancier that way. ;p

If I referred to myself as an "artisan" brewer, the average person who knows me well would look at me as if to say, "You've got to be kidding!" But when I say I "homebrew", they actually say, "Cool! I can't wait to taste it!" To me "homebrew" connotes making the beer at home, under my own roof, with my own hands, for my own taste, with my own space, my own money, my own time, for myself, my friends and family, for consumption on the premises (at home, or very nearby), and for no reason other than pure enjoyment. "Artisan" to me connotes going to someplace unknown outside the home to sample something "crafty", made by someone else, maybe an artist or artisan, who could care less who I am, except that they want to fulfill some ethereal personal destiny available only through profiting via my interest in their product.
I don't call myself a homebrewer. Since I have a degree in Culinary Arts, I call myself a Brewer or a Craft Beer Brewer, since I hand craft each beer that I make. But I don't think that homebrewer has any bad connotation associated with it. Although the Buffalo Wild Wings commercial a few years ago didn't help.

My latest DIPA is pretty darn good, worthy of being artisan. The Blue Moon clone I just kegged is fairly pedestrian though, definitely a homebrew.
