I love to brew with my daughters, 9 and 12. I'm doing 5 gal. extract batches, so brew day is only about 2 hours. They'll hang with me the full hour for the boil. Prep and cleanup are all mine. On bottling day, my 12 year old loves to fill bottles while I cap. I explain all the details of brewing and beer to them so they understand the entire process. I want them to understand that it's a labor of love and not all about the beer. Great father daughter time.
