Thanks everyone for the support and well wishes!! For now I gotta wait 7 months for the baby to be born. Then I gotta wait a couple more decades to show my kid how to brew!

Couple more decades?!?! Nah! Start 'em young, I say! S/he can help you with hops boils as soon as s/he's old enough to work a stove.philm00x wrote:Thanks everyone for the support and well wishes!!

Congratulations! I know I will never forget the true miracle of birth that I experienced with both of my kids.philm00x wrote:Thanks everyone for the support and well wishes!! For now I gotta wait 7 months for the baby to be born. Then I gotta wait a couple more decades to show my kid how to brew!
Perhaps you should name the baby "Porter" or "Brett" because of the 9 month " conditioning " time

You don't have to wait that long to teach the new brewer. Just can't let them sample.

True. Just being overly cautious, I guess.Yankeedag wrote:You don't have to wait that long to teach the new brewer. Just can't let them sample.

Get 'em on the hand crank of the grinder at three or four...
Tossing in hop sacks at six, weighing them (and grains) at seven...
They can check temps at eight fairly safely...
Brewday recording and notes at ten...
At fifteen, they're carrying carboys, cases... etc. and bottling / kegging too!
By the time they can drink legally, making their own recipes is a snap!
