This is not a confessional thread either.
Thanks goodness, because I know IP was feeling obligated to talk about his underage animal husbandry.
You know he was in 4H!

Just to provide some thoughtful information (as I don't care one way or the other on this debate). When I read through brewing related laws, it looks like you can legally brew at age 18+, but you can't drink or purchase alcohol until you are 21+.
So,, what if an 18yr old wanted to brew up a big belgian to age for his/her 21st? Just a thought. Also, we have to remember that laws and regulations don't stop people from disobeying them.
in wisconsin, you can legally drink in bars if you have parental consent.
altho, that might have changed since I was 18 (8 years ago....)
As far as I know it's still true. I saw a kid at the bar with his parents last month.
To my knowledge, It's illegal to brew if you are under the age of 21, even with parental consent. The reason is because once you pitch yeast, the wort is now considered beer.
I've never heard of a state where it was legal to brew at 18, although it certainly is possible. Even if it is possible in one state, we're not about to start becoming experts on the law of brewing. If you're a US resident, we all know it's 21. Not "almost 21", but 21.
As was mentioned earlier, in order to post on the site you must say that you are of age. If you're not smart enough to subtract 21 from 2010, we don't want you here anyway!
out of curiosity what is the law over there? in britain you can't buy it until you're 18 but you can drink it under that age with parental consent/supervision-a glass of wine with a meal lets say- is it the same deal over there or are you not allowed to touch it at all until you are 21?
It's not unheard of for people to get charged with aiding to the delinquency of minor down here. It happens a lot. I would hate to be brought up on charges because I knowingly allowed someone underage to brew, get drunk, drive, kill someone, then all of sudden I am responsible. That would suck. Knowing how sue happy people seem to be it seems best to avoid that hornets nest all together.
Ummm...I thought we already do that.Threads that talk about stills or the act of....locked. Threads with obvious disregard to the clear and obvious rules of joining should be dealt with in that manner. Pruno threads and the like are obvious red flags. But it becomes quite clear, very quickly when an underage person is "smart" and asking the "right" questions.
No alcohol until you're 21 in the states.
