Hi Grainne very welcome to the forum, quite a few lassies on here
Where are you based so that we can point you in the direction of the correct group local to you?

I suppose traditionally the brewing would have been "women's work" like baking the bread, cleaning the house, popping out wee bairns, etc... 
Welcome Grainy!

There are cultures out there that traditionally, the beer brewing *was* womens work - i.e. the idea of men brewing beer there would have been about as laughable as the idea of men making pastries, cooking dinner, or getting the children fed on time  :

Think I read of it in Sandor Katz' The Art of Fermentation. Worth digging through that again.

Oh and Welcome Grainy  - do let on where abouts you are local to. The front page of the forum has a section on Homebrew Communities - check it out for a meetup that is local to you. The social elements and tips swapping are the best bits of homebrewing - you sample other peoples brews, and get to understand what good beer is about and why it is fun and rewarding to make.

Thanks everyone for the welcome. im based in Dublin mostly but on occasion am down in the wild west of Galway so if you could guide me to some local meetups i would appreciate..

Hi Grainy,

For Dublin if your based around the city centre then Capital brewers would be your closest Club, they meet in Kavanaghs pub on Dorset street. South Dublin brewers (my local club) meet in the Dark horse in Blackrock.  The guys in West Dublin aka Liffey Brewers meet in Lucan arms I think and there are the North County brewers meet in the old Boro in Swords. Wicklow garden Brewers meet in pub in Bray name escapes me at the moment. Check out the club section at the bottom of the forum home page.

Oh and welcome.

Heh Ciderhead nice to see your treatment for the thread hijacking is working a treat.

Ciderhead you definitely have way too much time on your hands

The English term you need is "Ale Wife". She ran the brewery and the Pub. She was (and still is (Metalman?) a formidable character)

Much easier too do it this way, and people expect responses down here.
It's a bit like driving on the left, all it takes is one ditzy foreigner to cause a crash...
