Show us your Brew Brat

[Yob]

are little brew assistants often amusing? do they help you on brew-day?

Do they fill the FV with crayons or kittens? the most entertaining thing on the couch today was a book... which book you ask? which other would be appropriate :lol:



Whose a proud Daddy?

 

[rehab]

Chuck them on the stir plate to help them grow big and strong Yob

Do they fill the airlock with crayons or kittens?

[GalBrew]

Not sure how much help he is at 2 weeks of age, but here is my assistant.

 

[Thefatdoghead]

Helping dad unwrap the pressy's. loves looking in the kettle on brew day.

 

[Crusty]

I've got three & they all help in their own little way, especially the young fella.

 

[Camo1234]

Mine seems to be on her best behavior when it is brew day... Mum hates it that she is calm for me when it is my turn to stay home for the day!

She loves nothing more than a brew day and watching the cricket!

 

[barls]

Mines just one and loves pulling air locks out of fermenters. Also I keep joking that we are up to chapter 3 in how to brew by Palmer for story time

I've got a 4 year old boy and 2 year old twins, boy and a girl. I'll put a picture up when I'm at my computer

The twins love helping with bottling. Big boy only becomes interested once the twins start helping. They're a massive pain in the arse! But they love dunking the bottles in the StarSan bucket and emptying.

Little boy eats grains out of the bucket by the handful so I've had to move the buckets up higher. All 3 of them saw that crown lager ad with the barley farmer and started saying "he's making beer" as soon as they saw the grain.

All are obsessed with doughing in, and my wife seems to manage to disappear at the exact moment. It's actually a source of tension because it's ******* dangerous to have 3 kids around close to 40 litres of 70 degree water while I have my hands full.

So I'm back to brewing when they're asleep and just bottling with the kids.

As chaotic as they make it, I love that they're interested in it.

Here are my 3

 

[TheWiggman]

Pretty amazing Pedleyr, I have exactly the same family setup as yours. Youngest boy loves it, also was engaged with the Crown ad.
My wife bought me a brewing book. I read it from cover to cover and it lived in the dining room. While at work the twins were outside and eldest mysteriously disappeared. He was inside reading the book, and when asked said "I need some strawberries to make beer". Champion. I upsided him when I got home for wanting girly flavours in beers though and made him skull a stout to teach him a lesson.

 

[Yob]

RIS?

 

[RobjF]

Here are my two helping out.

 

[Kumamoto_Ken]

Three years old and the only way to keep him out of trouble in the brewhouse (garage) is to let him play in the 'little car'.
He's only tooted the horn once when I was bottling at the bench near the front end of the car....my best vertical leap of all time.

My little dude is no help at all. This is his idea of helping me to measure out the strike water.

That pic is a classic, the jug has magnified his head so it looks like his head is the shape as the jug.

Enjoy them while they're young gents. My kids arent interested in my brewing at all. The only interest my almost 18 year old daughter shows is wanting to taste my beer in case one of them happens to taste like her favourite vodka cruiser.

My other daughter is 16 and couldn't care less and my 2 sons 13 and 11 cant get their eyes off the xbox to even know what Im doing half the time. They occasionally walk into the brewery, ask a couple of questions like theyre interested then hit me with

Can I......

have some money
Go to a friends
Eat the chocolate etc in the fridge
