Subject: Passing the torch
In July I will have been brewing for 30 years! Over the course of those
years I have taught hundred of people to brew beer - including some that have
gone on to be pros.
The ones that I am most proud of - are both of my kids who brew their own
beer. Both have an uncanny ability to put together interesting recipes. I
never thought that they were paying that much attention!
The other (2) - were scouts from our Boy Scout Troop. Other than showing
them how to make root beer - for the blue and gold banquet - they 'figured
out beer for themselves' - but that is what scouting teaches! They have both
thanked me for planting the 'seed' - that you can make their own beer.
As for the 'next generation' - you can never start 'em too young - my
grandson Evan:

"My nephew loves my home brew and for Christmas his dad got him a beer kit
and we had a gathering at my house a few days later to brew a batch. A few
weeks later I got a call from my nephew, he and a roommate were brewing
beer. Yeah!! We should all try to pass our knowledge on every opportunity
we get."
I have been working diligently on this. I lived and worked in Utah for 9
months
several years back (thought I was making a permanent move there), and got 3
of
my fellow engineers (Recovering Mormans) brewing. I told them my work is
done,
and moved on.
My son (now in Milwaukee) brews - he and I made several batches of beer for
his
wedding reception. My son-in-law is now brewing (he's in Cinci), and so is
my youngest
daughter and her boyfriend (in Baltimore). I'm doing my part!
