Article: Female Brewers Breaking Down Brewmaster Stereotypes

Forums: 

Saw this article on MSN today, thought I'd share here.  Interesting article on female brewers and equally interesting or perhaps entertaining is a better word to describe the "comment war" that follows it.

Mead

Does anyone have any experience with making mead?  I'd like to brew a batch.  Ive never even tried mead but it sounds interesting.  Also does anyone know a place in chicago where I could try mead.  Looks like there is a meadery called Wild Blossom Wines that is in Chicago. http://wildblossomwines.com/.  I'd be interested in getting a good recipe if anyone has one.

After scrounging around on HBT for a while, I'm turning to the infinitely wiser group here at CHAOS.  I was thrown into kegging for Ides a couple weeks ago and now that I have a regulator and tank I'm thinking about going up to kegging full-time.  Only thing is my space is limited so I'm looking for a mini-fridge, no freezer, that can hold 2-3 5 gal. kegs.  Any suggestions?

This looks awesome.  ANYONE can enter.  Looks like you can enter as many beers as you want; you can even enter your crappiest beer ever!

 

Basically two 10-14 oz. bottles constitutes an entry; $7/entry. Entries can be dropped off at a number of locations (including Brew & Grow on Kedzie/Addison or at Haymarket itself) between October 10th-21st.

 

We all should take a shot at it!!

 

Find attached the information (including official entry labels for your bottles and an entry form).
