Y'all have computers in the kitchen????
If I wasn't laughing so ****ing hard, I'd have to ban you.
I guess there are quite a few females around, but I never thought of it that way. We're all brewers, for the most part, with a few mead makers and wine makers thrown in too. Of course I know that some of us are females, but I don't think it's obvious (well, except for the dominatrix avatar, and lady_brewer as an ID!). I really do NOT want to be known as a "woman brewer". That actually denigrates my skill, I think.
I haven't seen any women bashing, so I'm very surprised to see that others have seen it. Remember to use the "report this post" button to report all offensive posts, whether they are racist, sexist, vulgar, etc. so that the moderators can handle them.
I still laugh when I've met some of my fellow brewers and they seem surprised to find out who I am in person. I am a fairly small, middle aged, about-to-be- grandmother. But brewing is a passion, and I make a passable brew.
I starting with winemaking, and still consider myself a country winemaker. Mostly local (free) fruits- crabapple, chokecherry, rhubarb, dandelion, blackberry, cherry, grapes (catawba), etc. I planted trees so that many of the wines I make come from my own fruit. My "everyday" wine is an oaked chokecherry, and it's a very nice dry dinner wine.
For beer, I have an indoor two-tier all-electric HERMS system.
- nice to see other ladies around
