Does your Brother brew too?

[firebird400]

I do all my brewing with my dad. I am his only son so no brothers.
We started brewing late april this year and have made more then 20 batches since.

I am 34 years old and he is 62, and we have never been as good a friends

My Brother Comes over on brew day to help* (Help = Drink my beer....lol)

My little brother hasnt shown much interest but I did get my cousin to start brewing. To this day we still think of each other more as bros rather than cousins and this hobby has only solidified that. I am still vigilantly working on my little brother though

I have two brothers, one +12 years the other -18 months, neither brew but they do like my home brew and are interested in process. Both have other hobbies so I doubt they would ever brew, but it is possible. My grandfather brewed during prohibition and the depression and my father helped out (both got in lots of trouble). My Dad did brew a little but as it was still illegal my mother frowned on that. My younger brother's son is a brewer and has been for a quite a while (7 years maybe). I have had his brews ... they are good, and inspired me to actually get interested enough to try it. So I guess you can say I am 3rd generation brewer and my nephew is 4th generation brewer.

I'd love to have my dad and brother brew with me. But my dad is a recovered alcoholic and my brother and I aren't close (we see each other for about 3 hours a year at family gatherings). I bet it is a very good bonding experience, I just with I could have it.

My older brother and I both brew. We started doing it separately many years ago then stopped for a long time but a few years ago we both got the itch again and started brewing together. Over the past couple years we've started brewing separately at our own homes but still share recipes and ingredients and most everything else even though we brew separately and both do all grain. He's gotten more sophisticated equipment than I do and does mainly 10 gallon batches and fly sparges. Me, I do mostly 5 gallon batches and batch sparge. But we have alot of fun with it and even host gatherings for family and friends.

My older brother brews. A few years ago I had done a couple extract batches with a friend in college and told him about it so he went and got an extract dopple bock kit and I showed him my terrible skill set at the time. It got infected and was almost undrinkable, ALMOST! He and I kept at it for a few years and now hes got a Brutus rig. I still dont have a job that will support one of those haha. Around the holidays we will both brew the same recipe and see whos is better in a side by side. I live in CO and hes in CA and the water shows it!

No brothers, but my younger sister brews with me. Mostly by default, she moved in (due to a break up) right around the time we started brewing. She's stuck now but helps out and enjoys the benefits!!!

I have 3 older brothers.

Brother 1 drinks Miller Lite and nothing but. I gave him a few bombers a couple years back, and they sat in his fridge til I happened to be over there, opened the fridge, and guess what I found...yep, my bombers. So I drank em up. He no longer gets any homebrew.

Brother 2 thinks its "neat" that I homebrew. Its weird, cause he'll drink a Rasputin or a Zweic Porter and be good to go, but hes leery about drinking some homebrew, like its going to make him go blind.

Brother 3 is still stashing the RIS that I made him 2 years ago. Hes drank a few and says they are good. He likes good beers (lives not far from 3 Floyds and drinks there halfway often) but I dont see em brewing anytime soon.

My big brother died nearly 20 years ago, but we were going to open one of the first microbreweries in Michigan before that....that's what started me on this madness...He died on Christmas Eve, just before that I was going to buy my first brew gear as a present to myself, so we could start learning the trade. Then he died.

Most of what I learned came from that period when we were looking at it professionally, I read all I could about this stuff. Then it all got repressed and stuck in some dim resource of my memory till I started homebrewing over a decade later.

Then it all came flooding back.

Both my younger brothers live in the San Francisco area. I taught both to brew, and they are active brewers.

I have two older brothers and we all enjoy good beer. I started brewing a few months ago and I am now close to convincing the other two to start. One was already thinking about it when I started, he is moving into a new house and need to redo his kitchen and will likely score some old appliances for such purposes (lucky!). The other brother is coming to visit next weekend for a brew day, so hopefully I will have two converts by next weekend!

 

[aycockbrews]

talked to my brother last night he is gonna come by in about a week or so and help me with my first batch.

 

[bengerman]

no brothers for me, but i have a lot of near-family that brews
my dad used to,
one of my sister's best friends and her fiance brew, and we've become good freinds talking about brewing, growing hops, etc.
one of my best friends really want's to brew, and might come over wednesday for my brew session, unless it gets cancelled due to car work.

My older brother (10 years) has been brewing out in Washington state for several years. I wasn't aware of that until my older sister pointed that out at an Easter party that I'd brought some brews to. I started again (I'd stopped since '92 or so) about 15 months ago.

 

[boo boo]

My sister makes wine , but y'all are my brothers and I believe most of you do brew.

 

[KFH]

Nope. The vast majority of my family are confirmed BMC drinkers, unfortunately.

 

[aycockbrews]
