Brew Chicks

[BrewmanBeing]

Sorry to be creating so many posts lately, but getting back into brewing has me excited!!!

So, any women out there into brewing??? Any brewing girls who are also expert snowboarders in the Seattle area perchance? Just curious :cross:

I would guess the ratio of male to female in the brewing community is pretty darn out of balance. Why might this be?

 

[God Emporer BillyBrew]

Seems like we have about three females that post with regularity.

 

[Brewsmith]

I think the ratio is a little better in the wine section of the forum.

Why do always have to bring race into it?

 

[Brewsmith]

Are you saying we need some "affirmative action" to get more women on the board?

 

[david_42]

Very few women brew, the ratio is lower than motorcycling. Maybe 2-3%.

I suspect it is because most women do not like bitter flavors.

As long as it isn't my SWMBO, hell yeah!!!!!

 

[rdwj]

There might be some interest from our SWMBO's in a brew junkie support group. Other that that, this place is a MAJOR sausage fest

I thought this was a homebrewing forum, not the personals section!

i think that if it were between me and beer.. i may have to do some serious talking! lol

At least we have another snowboarder.

I don't know why more women don't brew- it's a total blast. Maybe it's a perception problem- you know, guys with beer guts slamming brews down. I've totally gotten into this craft beer making, and I'd love to see more of us around here.

The only thing that's intimidating for me is all-grain. Not because it's difficult to brew it, but because of the equipment. You men are always building something and modifying things. I built a poor-woman's lagerator out of a cooler and some styrofoam sheeting, but that's the end of my abilities to use power tools. Buying the stuff ready made is costly, so I don't see that happening soon.

I'd love to meet people in my area who are all-grain brewers, so I can watch and learn. It's tough trying to do it alone, so I'm thankful for this forum.

Nothing is more exciting then making a fantastic beer and watching my husband's(HWMO?) eyes light up when I come up to him and and offer my wares. He likes the beer, too.

Ahem *stops briefly to wipe up drool*
Yup I agree.

In the Old days women were the brewers. Men considered it in line to cooking and they'd rather wrestle, go to war and drink the stuff than brew it. My "History of Ale and Beer" book explains when the corssover occured but I believe I leant it out to someone.

BTW Mandy, one of the brewers at paddockwood ( I believe she's temp. left to go get her degree in brewing chemistry) is female and well:

 

[ultraplop]

It is true that many women like to get drunk just like men, but beer is held in a much different light for men. Guys have a certain reverance for beer and take pride in it. Even simply drinking a beer is a proud moment and great achievment.

A lot of women just don't have the right attitude.:cross:

People in you're area? You're a Up'er! There's only like 5 people in the entire UP

HOT. WOW.

 

[Yooper]

Well, that's why it's so hard to meet brewers in my area! The other 4 people in the UP drink Bud Light.

[Beer Snob]

You see Brewchick every so often..... I think she lurks more then posts though

 

[alemonkey]

My SWMBO likes to drink my brew, but so far she hasn't tried brewing. I think she's intimidated by all the fire and the boiling wort and the heavy lifting and the glaven.

 

[Pumbaa]

get her to buy you a nice brew sculpture and she wont have to worry about the heavy lifting . . .

C'mon say it like a Yooper: Da udder 4 peoples in Da Yoop drink Bud Light, aina?

(just kiddin, ya know actually it sound more like Sheboyganese )

 

[Beer Snob]

Lorena, your a brewer. Why are you killing yourself with that paintstipper anyways?

Does she snowboard? What size is her ring finger?

 

[Beer Snob]

Better question is how many months old is she......

 

[God Emporer BillyBrew]

Funny thing is I think my wife is a little jealous of this place and drops little hints about it every now and then. I'm like, I'd have to turn gay first and then cheat on you. One of the two might happen, but probably not both.

 

[veggiess]

I agree with Lorenae and do not understand why more women don't do it. My friends like my beer but don't want to brew. I think it is like cooking! I do have to say I am sick of the weird looks I get from the guys at my LHBS.

 

[alemonkey]

I'm working on a HERMS....I told her she could easily brew after that's done.
