average age of a home brewer

[wailingguitar]

I am 45, nearly 46, but I started brewing when I was 21

 

[corkybstewart]

Turned 57 a couple of weeks ago, feeling every day of it right now.
40+ is way too wide a range. Obviously the OP is a youngster who thinks everybody over 40 is just plain old.

I will have the honor of celebrating the Thirty-Ninth Anniversary of my Twenty-Ninth Birthday this coming October. I didn't begin homebrewing until after I retired [retired early and started brewing when I was 63]. And I have no plans to stop brewing.

I'm 28, but my knees feel about twice that age If that makes a difference

 

[Wingnutt73]

32 started brewing 2 years ago.

 

[hunter_le five]

I'm 25 years old. I've been brewing for 6 years.... er, I mean, 4 years. I HAVE BEEN BREWING FOR FOUR YEARS.

Wait... if I'm 25, do I select the 20-25 category, or the 25-30 category?

I'm 51, and started brewing in my late 20s. Started making wine around the same time.

Gave me a bit of a giggle that the highest age grouping was 40+.

Unless today is your birthday, you're more than 25 years old. Like 25 years, 4 months, 3 days, 2 hours and 36 minutes.

Doesn't matter whether it's his birthday. The continuity of time doesn't care.

I'll be 55 in June, retiring from my second job at that time. I started brewing beer in the 80's, my next door neighbor was a friend and a "hippy" type and he was brewing one day. I walked over and asked what he was doing and he shared some homebrew. I was hooked. I brewed for about 3 years and had to go back to sea. So I stopped, about a 17 year non brewing spell, and I started brewing again in 2007.

 

[unionrdr]

We started researching home brewing a little less than 3 years after I retired in '07. December '10 to be exact. By January our first batch was going.

 

[downtown3641]

I'll be 31 next month and I've been brewing for about three years.

 

[soccerdad]

I am above average in many, many ways.

 

[Dryhops]

Started brewing at 16. Drank my first beer at 21 of course , and 23 now.

 

[quincy07]

27 and have been brewing just under a year. My wife got me a Mr. Beer for Father's Day last year and after one batch of the very mediocre "American Light" kit I bought an 8 gallon pot and started full boil 5 gallon extract batches. Brewed my last extract batch on Sunday and will start BIAB as soon as my Wilserbrewer BIAB bags show up and can talk SWMBO into letting me buy ingredients, funny that I'm the one who works and have to ask permission to spend my money, but that's another topic for another day.

 

[craigger64]

I'll turn 50 in October. Been brewing for 5 years.

 

[Zinc_Saucier]

26, been brewing 18 months

 

[Black Island Brewer]

Started at 30, still at it while pushing 50. Seen alot of the 20 somethings come and go due to short attention spans...too many video games...

 

[beernbourbon]

My average age depends on the day and my stress level. Most days I'm 49, 'long about Friday and Saturday I'm 25, Sunday, closer to 35 or 40, and come Monday morning, I'm about 110. :cross:
Only been at this about two years, but learned a ton just readin' :rockin:

 

[ZuzBrews]

58, started brewing 20 years ago.

 

[BrewerJack]

[cheesehed007]

[NTXBrauer]

I am 43 and started home brewing at 27. As you will find out, this is a hobby many stick with for years.

 

[brewerJase]

Some one should chart or graph the results. Would be cool to see

[knockout350]

ok, ho le *** i didnt expect quite that big of a turn out but to address a few question.

the reason for the 40+ category was because i was having trouble setting up the poll and didnt manage to add enough poll questions when it finally went through. (and yes life ends at 40..... how low do you dangle?)

interesting info none the less.

35, just started in January
