average age of a home brewer

Al Gore is 66 and he invented the interwebs.

 

LOL at the 40+ age category. I hope OP's job is not in market research.

I'm 55 and I brewed my first all-grain beer in 1991 when the OP was literally in diapers.

 

I turn 50 next month and did my first batch of extract brew way back in '94.... All-Grain a year later...

 

36 1/2. Been responsible for my own buzz since the early '90s

 

There's lots of old Homebrewers out there that used the Blue Ribbon cans prior to the 1978 legalization. I made my first batch with my cousin around 1968.

 

31, been brewing for 4 years. Cheers

 

I am 64 and have been homebrewing for a long time.

 

I am a member of the early fifty-something cohort. I started home brewing in early 1993. I need to find the exact date. I have brewing logs that date back to my first batch.

 

43. Brewing for about a year. Wanted to brew sooner but had trouble making time with kids and such. They are a bit older now so it works out. I brewed an extract kit for my first brew (last Father's Day ) then two partial mashes. Been doing all grain ever since.

There was that time in college that I threw bread yeast into water with sugar and fruit. I don't think that counted as "brewing"....

 

Late 30s here. Been at it for 1.5 years. Would have started doomed but live in MS and it was only legalized recently.

 

56, now pull up your pants!

 

70, brewing 6 years in November.

Just started and a very young 50

 

27... started regularly for a year. First homebrew at 22.

 

Started with ciders at almost 22 and now I'm onto sours by nearly 25.

 

54. Started in '92, didn't brew much in the 2000's, restarted last year. Trying to do about 4-6 batches a year.

 

JMarch... I would wonder how it could be possible if you and your twin were different ages.

 

58. Started brewing in '98 when wife bought me a decent starter kit from LBS. Skipped a few years in early 2000s, but the built a nice brew stand and started doing 10 gal. batches. This is a real enjoyable hobby. I now have a brew-buddy who's 60.

 

At 21 I started making wine. At 40 got my first Mr. Beer kit. 3 months later moved to all grain brewing and never looked back. I'm 44 now.

 

37 next month, brew partner is 37, we started brewing just over 2 years ago.

Forty two and been brewing on and off for 26 years, grain for the last 19 - since I had a kitchen to myself.

Yes part of the appeal was easy access to beer at 16 there being age limits on the sale of malt extract and yeast, that and I was brought up in Hereford surrounded by hop fields and cider orchards.

 

Still trying to wrap my head around turning 50. I tend to think like I'm still 30; though I often feel like I'm 80. Been making wine/mead for 14 years & brewing beer for 8.
Regards, GF.

 

funny thing: I tend to think like I'm still 25, and also often feel like I'm 80.:rockin:

 

I'm 31 and I've been at it for 6 years or so.
