G'Day.
As the subject suggests, was wondering if any of you fellas ever get your children involved in your brewing? Just wondering the whole "moral" side of things as exposure to alcohol with children is a big concern here in Australia.
Our 4 year old is my "assistant brewer" and basically sprays sanitiser on everything to minimise any risk of contamination. It makes her feel important and responsible. I look at her involvement as a bit of bonding but also a chance to emphasise the scientific aspects of the fermentation etc. She loves to pour DME in the boil for yeast starters etc. She's also a fantastic bottler.
What are your thoughts around this and do you get your kids involved?
Cheers,
