Average age of home brewers......

[Rob2010SS]

31, been brewing about 8 months now and have done (12) 5 gallon batches which equates to about 7.5 gallons per month (1-2 brew sessions per month) . My wife and i both love beer so i have a hard time keeping kegs full.

 

[GnenieGone]

Please guys, tell me that you all have a lot of friends to share with, otherwise it would look like the majority of this forum has serious drinking issues

 

[GnenieGone]

50 and brew a lot of different 3gal batches monthly.

 

[wishingiwasfishing]

Seems like I was younger a few years back, roughly 5gallon/month

 

[LoneTreeFarms]

Nearly 40. Brew whenever I'm not chasing my little red heads to dance or sports. Roughly 1/ every 2 months. 5 gallon batches. Life happens first, brewing as much as I love it. Is still a hobby. So it's whenever I have free time.

I've been brewing for 20 years and I've met lots of homebrewers. I've met people that started brewing before they even hit 21, and I've had friends that have been brewing and are long into retirement age. I am 47. But from my experience, the average would have to be probably late 30s.

 

[jbraaten]

I am 40, been brewing for about 7 years.
I brew 5 gallons, about every other week.

 

[Yooper]

I started making wine 25+ years ago, been brewing beer more than 15 years but only seriously for 13 or so. I'm going to be 54 very soon.

Geez, I got old awfully fast.

 

[hammy1983]

34 I'm currently brewing about 10 gallons a month. Very new as in 3 months. Making the switch to extract this weekend and next weekend starting all grain BIAB. My daughter that is 2 and my son on the way might put a kink into this. Add that golf season starts in a couple months and we shall see what takes a break.

 

[AzOr]

I’m 45, been brewing for 20 years. Although a chunk of that time I was happy doing extract beers.
I’m doing about two batches per month of beer/cider/mead.

 

[prep8611]

I'm 31 and brew 3-4 times a month.

 

[seatazzz]

50 going on 51 and try to brew at least twice a month. I do love my beer. To the point that my 42 year old husband (yes I AM a cougar) got mad at me and told me I have to stop pouring from the kegs when there's about 1/2 gallon left so he can have some. Oh hell no. If it's there I'm going to drink it, he knows where the kegerator is and can get his own if he wants it.

[pm5k00]

35, I brew an average of about 7.5 gallons per month ( 1 - 2 5gallon batches per month, sometimes a 10gallon batch)

 

[nobadays]

63 on Monday.... I brew about 50 gallons a year.

 

[philly224]

I am 28 and brew 2-3 times a month with my Dad who is getting close to 60.

 

[Wyobrew22]

32, I brew a 5 gallon batch about once a week.

 

[Blazinlow86]

38 5gals a week

 

[Nagorg]

49 and average a brew day every 1.5 months. But, I brew 10G minimum and have a 15G batch fermenting at the moment.

So I guess that translates to...

~30 - 5G batches a year
or
~2.5 - 5G batches per month
or
~2.88 G per week!

Or something like that...

 

[KrunkMasterKyle]

25 and I brew 2.5 gallon batches every other week.

Cheers

 

[yourlastchance89]

28 and I've been brewing just over a year. Last year I did 20 batches. I aim to get 2-4 five gallon batches a month.

 

[nick 55]

First post here. 19. Just kidding, 38. I started this fall and brew at least once a month. I can't drink it all that quickly.

[PeteSeattle]

Started when I was 27 and now I’m 44 (geez, 45 soon). I used to brew a lot more like 4 or 6 different styles a month a for 5-10 gallons per batch. Now just up to 4 styles from 1.5-3 gallons per batch. I used to have a lot more time. Cheers!

 

[Dog House Brew]

Turning 52 at the end of March. Haven’t brewed since late May. I just did a lot of reworking on the rig. I normally brew around 7 to 10, 12-20 gallon batches a year. Going to brew more lagers and more cellar style beers this year. I’ve been brewing since early 97.

 

[BobBailey]

I'm 69 and brew 5 gallons every 2 to 3 weeks.

 

[skyhawk50]

67 and try to brew 5 gal a month. I give a lot of it to friends.......and I got a lot of friends!

 

[Home_alone1]

I will be 50 very soon and I brew 2 times a month like clockwork. Some 5 gallon batches, some 3 and a couple 1 gallon test batches when creating a new recipe.

27 and brew 10 gallons a month

 

[Yeastieboy]

39... been brewing for about 6 years. I try and knock out a 5G batch every 5-6 weeks.

This thread resurrection made me have to re-cast my vote... Damnit! LOL

 

[Franktalk]

I'm 60 and have been brewing for 25 years. My wife and friends help me to brew 5 gallons twice a month or so.

 

[gunhaus]

54, and i have been brewing almost 30 years. I generally brew every other weekend in 5 gallon batches, with some wine and a good bit of cider mixed in between for good measure.

 

[McKnuckle]

52 and brewing for six years. I brew 2-3 gallon batches weekly until my six tap keezer is full, with maybe another couple of batches in queue.

And then it takes ages to drink the beer, but I try to rationalize brewing more in spite of it. Can't really drink more than a pint a day for health reasons, but sure do enjoy every drop!

 

[TheMadKing]

33 and brewing for 12 years, I brew 5 gallon batches about once a month, more if I'm able to go through a keg quickly

 

[thehaze]

34 and brewing for little over 2 years. I brew 5 batches a 6 gallons every two months or so. I have brewed 66 batches until now.

 

[cnash]

31, been brewing for a couple years now.

 

[Andrew Hodgson]

78, brewing for 40 years and will continue until I can’t lift a 5 gallon batch.

 

[ABI Brewery]

[balrog]

60. Brewing 6 years. Overall avg 2x a month, 5g batches. Many thirsty tennis friends.

 

[LittleRiver]

78, brewing for 40 years and will continue until I can’t lift a 5 gallon batch.

Who are you trying to fool here? We know that when that happens you'll just start brewing smaller batches.
