16?  Probably not forum members though.  There were more that a few when I was at school though, myself included.

Are we counting the auld weetabix behind the radiator trick in Mountjoy or is it just lads with mash tuns?

More importantly what is the average age of a homebrewer's liver?

Still being in college, I can testify that no one is brewing. Such a shame.

I'm raging that I didn't think/know about brewing 10 years ago when I was starting out in college. I could have been far more productive with my spare time brewing than just pissing around on the internet watching porn cat videos.

But yeah, from the outset I was under the impression that this was a hobby that 'older dudes' tended to get involved with, kinda like golf. I don't know why that is though, should we start targeting the kids with brewing?  ;D

Managed to get Dunkel Junior (20) interested - we just bottled "his" first brew yesterday (Cooper's Candian Blonde), and he immediately took pictures for his Facebook page. Now his mates want him to demonstrate to them  :)
