While I know this survey is biased, it’s people who watch Brulosophy content and answer surveys, but my own experience backs this up: https://brulosophy.com/2024/05/27/2024-general-homebrewer-survey-results/
My personal experience mirrors that as well. Everyone in my homebrew group is that. Everyone in surrounding groups (as seen in pictures of state-wide gatherings) is that. 95% of the people I see in homebrew shops are that.
Why?
What I mean about constructing statistics is going to a place and starting counting people hmmm yes there are 95% straight people here and 96% white people here …. Like do you really do that?
No.
In my post, I linked to a statistics page from a popular homebrewing community. https://brulosophy.com/2024/05/27/2024-general-homebrewer-survey-results/
This is not representative of the American demographics. It’s largely skewed. I then went to my regular meeting and saw the same thing. I wondered if there’s a specific reason for the difference. I asked here.
