average age of a home brewer

[AnOldUR]

I didn't think people over 40 knew how to use the internet.

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.

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

 

[EarlyAmateurZymurgist]

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"....

 

[BadDeacon]

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

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

 

[buddman]

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.

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.
