Average age of home brewers......

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

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!

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

My chronological age is 62.
Been brewing since 2008, more seriously since 2013.

I brew 10-15 batches (5.5 gallons) a year. Some of those are for events and fundraisers where my club participates.

Did you mistype that meaning to say: Let's do ...

Could be interesting, enlightening, and probably fun.

Just turned 53 but have the emotional and humoral age of my son (23).

 

[balrog]

Pfsh! Smaller batches my eye. He'll just buy some silicone tubing and a PUMP!

That's my plan, at least.

 

[breweer]

31 here and brew mostly 10 gallon batches about once per month. Have a lot of coworkers, friends, and family that I share plenty with.

 

[grampamark]

I posted in this thread over a year ago, but since someone mentioned chronology vs maturity...

I'm 68. My level of maturity ranges from "Party on, Garth!" to "Get off my lawn!" depending on what day it is.

 

[50calshooter]

58. I brew anywhere from 10 to 20 gallons a month.

 

[50calshooter]

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

I supply a lot to private parties and other opportunities.

 

[Gonefishing]

I'm 69. It seems that I brew 5 gallons about every 2-3 years. Would like to increase that to doing that maybe once a month.My wife might object to a large number of drunks hanging around though.
