Seriously, I was thinking why didn't we know about this in college, or why didn't I think about it. I guess we were just blind to the ways of the world.

22 and +3 months of experience

Seriously, I was thinking why didn't we know about this in college, or why didn't I think about it. I guess we were just blind to the ways of the world.

Im in college and its actually how I found out about it. I was in a microbial physiology class going over fermentation! I was sold from that point on! Admittedly though I found it as a senior. Now I'm looking at the ideas of possibly making a microbrewery in the future. I've just been hounding business and entrepreneur majors for all the angles to consider.

 

[HairyDogBrewing]

Age 44 with 3.5 years brewing - about 50 batches.
Luckily, I have the full support of SWMBO.
In fact, she is the VP of Quality Control and Inventory Reduction.

 

[Tanagra]

I am 32 and just started brewing about 6 months ago. I must say this is one of my better hobbies, as I can share my concoctions with friends and family.

Thus far I have brewed 3 nitro-stouts, 1 blue moon clone, 1 oktoberfest, and 1 nitrogenized reddish ale (no name yet). All have turned out to be rather good, and the stouts were fantastic.

All recipes were all-grain using 5 gallon water coolers and a 7.5 gallon brewpot on my stove. I have yet to brew an extract batch. I have 3 years of wine-making experience using grapes from my yard, and I feel that helped greatly in my swing to brewing beer.

 

[wscott823]

26 and brewing consistently now for a little over a year.

 

[AiredAle]

[rico567]

66 & 3 years

 

[glenn514]

I'll be 64 in October. I retired from my occupation as of 1 July 2009, which gave me LOTSA time to brew. I didn't get started with the obsession, however, until January 2010. Several batches under the belt already, with many more to come!
