I saw the engineer thread and was curious what % of brewers are females? I know of a few on here but it seems like it's 99% guys (which since it's beer makes sense to me).
I'm sure there are plenty more.
Wrong, good sir. The answer is "not enough"!
My girl split 6 beers with me last night while asking me lots of questions about mead making. She recently tried mead, and is eager
for a steady supply.
The beers btw were Victory Horizontal Barleywine, Sam Adams Cream Stout, Founders Breakfast Stout, and DFH 60, 90, and 120 minute IPAs. Twas a good time.
I have a feeling she'll be procrastinating on this board during work hours fairly soon.
Let's not get hasty. She lives in an apartment with no lawn, and my man cave is safe in a different state

It's not that women don't like beer, it's that women are allergic to the internet. It's a well documented fact that only 1% of the people on internet forums are women, that is why having a vagina makes you an automatic forum celebrity. Even if men in the real world think your a hideous buttertroll and avoid contact with you at all costs, once men on the internet find out you're a female they will be drooling over your every post.Don't really understand the final parenthetical statement. Of the females in our immediate family, I have a daughter in law who doesn't drink beer (but, then, she and my son are both teetotalers). Otherwise, I have a wife, a 90 year old mother, a daughter, & another daughter-in-law who all LOVE beer. That's a pretty high percentage.
.....as far as the original question, no, I know no female brewers.

You raked someone over the coals about making sweeping statements in a thread above yet go on to make a extremely offensive sweeping statement about women. Hey pot, the kettle is calling you!
I thought that made it pretty obvious that I was joking...but I guess I will have to increase my smiley uses round these parts.It's a well documented fact that only 1% of the people on internet forums are women.

well, atleast sausage goes well beer?
I think you may have a point there, anyway, since this is your first post, let me say welcome to HBT, and have fun.There are a lot of female brewers out there. But, I have found that the only way to get help without being made fun of in my local brewing supply store is to tell them that I am shopping for my Dad. There may be a correlation there between the ratio of female brewers to the ones who will admit to being such.
Most homebrew guys are super nice and cool, but every now and then you get some that think they're hot $hit. I'll bet their beer tastes like a$$!!
Wow, it takes a lot for me to curse in public but this did it!
