Howdy,
I just wanted to ask y'all this question before I make a trip down to the nearest homebrew store (and avoid any potential face-to-face embarassment...). Is it illegal for me to buy any or all brewmaking supplies or equipment in the US if I'm under 21? My brother has expressed numerous times that he would like to brew his own beer (he is over 21). I have brewed my own at home in Germany, but now that I'm in the states for vacation, things are a little different. I was considering helping him get off his lazy butt to start brewing by getting him set up for his birthday, because that'd be a cool gift that I'm sure he'd appreciate and use. So is it legal for me to buy homebrew beer supplies for him here in the US (California to be exact) even though I'm not of legal age to buy actual alcohol myself while here on my very (unfortunately!) sober vacation?
Thanks,
MC
