how old are you and how long you been brewing?

[Tony]

... and still have enough left over for a deposit on a house.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

 

[mysterio]

25 now. Started brewing when I was 20 with a Coopers kit from Glenbrew in Partick, made a couple of those and went all grain shortly afterwards, never looked back.

 

[TheMumbler]

I'm 36 and have been brewing for around 18 months. My first AG was almost exactly a year ago so I should put an anniversary brew on I guess.

 

[tubby_shaw]

44 years old and I've been brewing for 28 years and making grain beers for 27 years on and off :)

 

[evanvine]

Oh come on; there must be another as old, or older tha me :shock:

 

[broadfordbrewer]

I'm 32 and have been brewing since January 2010. :)

 

[graysalchemy]

It appears you must be the oldest or that any older members are just not admitting to it :rofl: and letting you take the crown.

Perhaps you will get a prize :hmm: :hmm:

 

[stevander74]

im 36 and ive been brewing for 3 or 4 months, cant remember when i started :lol:

 

[rickthebrew]

34 and managed to squeeze 25 AG brews in since my first around a year ago Did around 15 kits the six months previous to that and I always have around six gallons of country or juice wines on the go

The Missus thinks I brew to much......I disagree :lol:

 

[evanvine]

Perhaps you will get a prize

Some how I have my doubts :P

 

[Screwy]

I suppose I've got to come clean, I'm 64 in December and have dabbled in home brew since I was 14.
I've been brewing AG since 1983

Ok for me to throw my hat in the door now then, seeing as I'm not the oldest Old Fart here :rofl:

59 here! until Feb 2011.

43 now............
My first introduction with brewing was when I was 14 by helping my Uncle with beer kits, he let me do the bottle washing, filling and capping.......... :whistle:
At the age of 16 I bought a 3 gallon bucket from Boots that included an 8 pint Tom Caxton kit and 8 brown beer bottles..... (still got the bucket in't loft). I brewed kits from tins for years with medium to poor results.

Been brewing AG on and off since early 1990 with mixed results
Since finding this site and Jim's 2 years ago I now brew every 2 weeks and if I may say so myself my beers are now "very good", If not better than some commercial beers I'd been buying for years.. :thumb:

Seems as though a pattern is emerging. I made my first extract brew about 1967, dad owned a bakery so malt extract was cheap and easily available. Found a book at the local library for Avon Ale (an English Ale, I live in Australia). Brewed this up in my dad's garage in a new plastic rubbish bin using Bakers yeast. Dad thought it was ok, he drank it :lol:

After some partial mash attempts I converted a 38L round cooler for use as a mash tun, slowly over the years kit has been upgraded. Now the system is a 4 Vessel Stainless HERMS with a max brewlength of 70L.

I turned 40 this year - the Mrs (and the neighbours who end up holding my deliveries for me until I get home from work) is convinced the brwing is a mid-life crisis sort of thing :lol:

I hope it lasts longer than that :drink: :drink:

I've only been brewing for 10 months, and moved into AG very recently - did my first one two weeks ago :mrgreen:

 

[Muddy Funker]

I'm 34 and have only been brewing for around six months, a couple of kits and some turbo ciders and fruit juice wines.
Been brewing AG now for around oooo 12 hours or so lol :shock: did my first yesterday and can't wait to try it.
Amazing hop smells from the kitchen. Fingers crossed it turns out okay

 

[evanvine]

Fingers crossed it turns out okay

Let it mature for min 4 wks! (sorry, I'm perpetuating off topic)
I'm allowed as I'm old! :whistle:

 

[Turbotez]

Just to prove that all brewers aren't wooly jumper wearing old farts

 

[Moley]

Just to prove that all brewers aren't wooly jumper wearing old farts

I object! :evil:

I might be an old fart but I don't wear wooly jumpers :nono:

 

[keith1664]

Rapidly heading towards 40, I've been brewing about 5 weeks now! Though I did make an attempt years ago but quickly gave up once I tasted the results. I'm probably going to start getting the kit together to try AG come payday. Luckily I still have the Electrim bin from first time around... plus a few bits and pieces from Boots.

Thanks, I'll take that as a compliment.

"Led" however is wide of the mark

(ps. are you on another one of your wind-up evenings, they are rather amusing :rofl: bit early for you though :hmm: )
