Prey, I think you should send a PM to makingitgood, he sounded like he had some good experience at making hooch in his bedroom and hiding it from mom and dad.

So, fess up to us... are you 19? Are you in college? High school?

LOL....

Is it that hard for kids to get beer these days?

I had to drive 15 mins, but I'd load up every trip. Helluva lot easier than having to brew my own :cross:

 

[olllllo]

Mom: Look what I found in Jimmys sock drawer.
Dad: Gasp! It's a hydrometer.



At least the kids not on MethCookTalk.com.

Ok, so I'm really 17, turning 18 in September. I don't know if you guys have heard of UCSD, but I will be a sophomore there in the upcoming fall quarter. I started becoming interested in this about 2 weeks ago when I read about it on the internet, and so I have been trying to make hard cider with baker's yeast but it doesn't taste very good as expected.

We used to pay this really, really, REALLY scary guy $3 to buy us an 18 pack. Slimy, gross, smelly dude whose gave off the aura of a sex offender. A couple of my friends would do "beer runs"; literally, go into store, pick up beer, run. Thankfully I was always too much of a chicken**** to ever partake in this partiuclar activity. Had we known about homebrewing, we might have tried it, but I'm sure we would have been drinking Dumpsterbrau out of the fermenter after three days.

I remember when kids could get a note from mom or dad to pick up a six pack or smokes from the corner store.

That note was written on papyrus was it?

Can you imagine how PO'd Walker-San would be?

So, a friend of my sister's neighbor's brother's uncle has this problem when he takes a piss...

LOL hahahaha

Ok, so I went into my local homebrew shop today and bought some nottingham brewing yeast and some champagne yeast with no problems. All is well.

 

[opqdan]

haha

I was wondering this when I was buying all the stuff for the first time. I thought I was going to get carded... I'm used to it since I look like I'm 15 (last Rated R movie I went to I got carded lol!)
BTW I am 25. born in 1981... I think I did the math right..

Don't feel so bad. I am 22 and 6'7", yet I still get carded at the movies sometimes. It has stopped recently because I always have my college ID out to get the discount.

I recall getting carded when I first bought brew supplies, but I think I may have picked up a 6 pack at the same time.

To prey, purchasing the yeast, and the ingredients is legal, mixing them together is probably even legal, but as soon as they go to work and start producing alcohol you end up on the other side of the law. I'd be careful about posting around here as I am not sure about whether it is allowed under the forum rules (since it is illegal for you).

Another damn Southerner...

 

[prey]

what's up makingitgood? I hope all is going well for you. I plan on just sticking with making hard cider and wine for now (stuff that doesn't involve a lot of work preparing the wort).

 

[veggiess]

Awwww, isn't that cute? Maybe there can be a thread, "Underage homebrewers thread". Heck, you could make a whole separate section for it!

 

[Leaky barrel]

I know in Maryland you can drink in your own home with parent/guardian permision at any age, although they may be liable for any consequences resulting from that underage drinking.

 

[Leaky barrel]

At nineteen though tip a few back i say!

 

[Muntzster]

Of course, that's EXACTLY what this is. It's the only post from prey.

I'm just glad that THIS underaged person seems to be intelligent (proper spelling, grammar, punctuation, etc).

I've got no problem with a 19 year old brewing beer and drinking it. I fully intend to teach my son the trade when he's ready to go off to college. There is no better way to make money for a college freshman than producing and selling beer to the other 18 year olds at extremely high prices.

I hope you are joking.

Prey just tell them, they will probably be excited, and expect free beer.

Well thats how it went with mine anyways.
