how old are you and how long you been brewing?

[Stone Cold]

apparently a home brewer is a 50 year old in a wooly jumper my mate tells me. (I have no problem with 50 yr olds or wooly jumpers)
so have been wondering what is the average age of homebrewforum members? and when did you start to brew?

 

[markp]

I'm 38; started seriously only about 18 months ago.
Did a few kits when I was in my early 20's.

38... brewing since 2008, parents and in-laws both made their own wines when younger but didn't do beer, I recall my father's white wine being an excellent drain cleaner... but he happily drinks my brews! :grin:

Thanks for that 31bb3 I haven't been called thirty something for a few years. At forty one I am obviously in the "senior" age catagory. :hmm: I feel old

I was still on breast milk in 1973
Although mum liked the odd glass of guiness or macky's so it could be classed as milk stout :rofl:

I think that is what it must be my midlife crisis is manifesting itself into beer, brewing, this site and the word association game.

It could be worse could be chasing after young ladies half my age :hmm: :hmm: :hmm:
