I'm mumble, mumble years old, and I've been brewing about 6 years now, near as I can figger. Started with a Mr. Beer kit for Christmas from my BFF. She just shakes her head at what she unleashed.

Will be hitting the big 60 in June.
I got a MrB kit Jan 2009 my wife picked up on after Christmas clearance. I looked at it and said that's nice never opened it and sat in corner of my basement until the following Dec of 2009 then I made my first batch and think back now I had no clue there was yeast in the box that should have been aleast stored in the fridg. I only made 2 batches that year but Dec 2010 I joined the MB forum and ended up with 4 LBK's and made every deluxe refill MB had before moving to 5 gal. I still do mainly extract brewing but with a lot of partial BIAB so I can experiment with different grains.

Im one of the young guns on here, a whooping 33. I started the same time period as Dave. First batch was 12/31/2009 and was a Mr. Beer kit. Was doing AG within 4 months and haven't looked back. I'm now doing 5-10 gallon batches and working on a Rims eHerms electric set up.

I started in May 2009. I stuck with Mr beer batches for about a year, then started creating my own recipes. About a year after that, I switched to 5 gallon batches and kegging.

I could go all grain, but I mostly do partial mash or extract batches on my stove.

I started with Mr Beer in march of 2012....

By July or August, I was doing 5 gallon BIAB mainly for cost reduction
and eventually went to conventional all grain by the end of the year .

You don't look a day over mumble-mumble minus two.

I will be 60 this August started with a MR beer kit in May of 2011 bought it at Bass pro shop after seeing them there the previous trip when SWMBO looked at me like i was crazy to even consider buying one.
I won over 900 dollars playing poker the night before our next trip there so i bought my wife something my son my daughter and my grandson so when i put the Mr beer box in the cart and told here i was buying
my self a toy she didn't say anything. Lucky for me i found the MR beer forum before i even started my first batch.Now i brew mostly 5 gallon AG.
Cheers Ray

I like that story.

Yeah, me too. I like all the stories, actually. Many of them are similar, but that just creates the BorgBond. D_Rabbit is young enough to be my son, but our stories began at the same time on the calendar. He progressed to AG faster than I did, but that's personal preference. And none of that matters, really; he's one of my brothers in brewing, and if we ever meet, I'll be pleased to quaff a pint or two with him.

Although, frankly, alb is a lot better-looking than alla youze guys....

Which is why I use a picture of my boat.

Apparently I skew our demographics at 38.

I started with Mr. Beer on January clearance in 2012. Started steeping on batch 2, and all grain BiaB on batch 10. I'm currently fermenting batch 60.
