Forgive me for asking but are there any ladies on HBT? I've always assumed this is a male hobby but figured maybe there are some exceptions to the rule out there....
 
Hmm lets see.....

Yooperbrew
Laurel
Jmulligan
Melana
Petunia
Nurmey

Nah, no chicks here, move along.
 
Yeah, there are some women around. It's hard to tell them from the men, though, with those deep voices and facial hair.


Hey McKBrew. Look around. Anybody standing near you? Has everything gone real, real quiet? Little flashes of movement flitting just outside your peripheral vision?

This won't be pretty.... :(
 
Don't trust all of the profiles, tho. I was a female here for about a year.

ROFLMAO.

anyway, can you possibly LEAVE YOUR ****ING AVITAR alone for a WEEK OR SO!!!!!!!!!!!
good gawd, i cannot tell who thew **** you are half the time, it changes more than yooperbrew's !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


anyway, carry on!
:)

Shouldn't we try to know each other by name? :D
 
Female homebrewers are about 5% of the mob. Maybe a little higher, if you include the pre-ops.
 
Yeah, but looks aren't everything Yoop.:D

(and by that I mean all of us. Well, except you, you're not at all funny looking)

Oh Lord, this could turn into a huge hole I've dug myself.:(

I am very curious (being a women and all) why this question was asked.

A thread earlier this week was about how old people were. I have to say when it came up it raised more questions for me about HBT's demographics. So I think it's a natural question posed in a friendly way. (If not, we'll just throw stuff until they stop...) I pretty much expected this to be a male-dominant chat room, and it also skews pretty young, but everyone seems pretty well-behaved (must be the natural benefits of homebrew!).

Pony up for the premium membership and your belief that folks here are well-behaved will change. For the better. It's a fun, fun place, even for us old farts.:D
 
I think that when the average person thinks "homebrewer", he's thinking of Joe Sixpack trying to save money and get a buzz on. As the perceptions change, I think people are more open to the hobby not being a blue collar dominated craft. Still, it surprises many to find women brewing I think.

In my case, I was leaving the National Homebrew Conference, with a fellow HBTer (Richbrewer) heading out the same time as I was. Some other brewers (younger guys) saw me packing my car with kegs and my beer lines. They stopped to talk, and asked me how I liked my husband's beer! I was like, "Um, I'm the brewer!" Even other brewers assumed I was the spouse, not the brewer! I guess I don't look like most people expect a brewer to look.

I'm a small almost-middle-aged woman. I've been ignored in homebrew stores. Totally ignored. I've had some LHBS workers try to sell me "an easy kit for raspberry wheat beer- and simple to make!" I've had bartenders try to serve me a "lighter" beer. Just give me the f***ing IPA already, would ya?

I think it's great that someone is actually open to women being here on HBT as active brewers!

That's especially funny considering your love of wheat beers :D
 
yah, YooperBrew...i was at the lhbs a week or so ago to buy some equipment and the old dude behind the counter, er, Pro Specialist Homebrew Helper, suddenly assumed mid-conversation that i was there shopping on behalf of a male brewing partner. odd, i hadn't mentioned any partner. but i went with the flow, and came out of the experience a little wiser and with a few bucks still left in my pocket.

it's alright, it's all good. nothing but a chicken wing.
