They'll all be too busy at home tending their brews.

Perhaps the Government is missing a trick here? Get the kids off the streets...

I checked. No law against it, all the laws only apply to alcohol, not potential alcohol. Stores can obviously make their own rules about who they sell to. Brew, drink and be merry.

I'm not sure about the law, but I'm loving the idea that the local under 18 community would be hanging about the swings at the park by their 'pimped' Saxos discussing the wonderful hop profile of their latest all grain brew whilst remonstrating about the pros and cons of using S04 in their latest White Lightning clone.

For my sins I am a police officer and I'm not aware of any laws relating to the purchase or sale of homebrew kits.

For my sins im a Soco, so if any of the little darlings did buy a kit, and then commit a crime, ill fingerprint the little feckers til they know whats good for them!





and then spend the next 2 days on paperwork......

Nah, they'd be stabbing each other because they can't agree on the mash schedule. And brewing equipment would start to sprout weird paint jobs and be fitted with sound systems. Before you know it there would be an explosion in illegal gatherings where they would hold "brew-offs" to see who can have the bling-est stuff without actually brewing anything.

That happens all the time down our way.
