I find that depending on when you add them to the boil, you can seriously hurt them and it doesnt add anything desirable to the beer. It should be avoided at all costs.

This brings up an interesting point that I've been wondering...If you guys have kids helping you brew do they get to drink some of the end product (not when they are 5 obviously). I'm actually a little concerned about what will happen later on for me - I don't see myself wanting to stop brewing but it's not long ago that I was in HS. If I had had kegs at my disposal at all times the temptation would have been enormous!ditto the above comments. my parents come over on weekends sometimes to lend a hand an i can usually squeeze in a brew while doing yardwork, etc.it's a lot of fun. i can't wait until the little guy is old enough to be brewer's assistant #1.flatulently,

You'll have to lock the door to the kegerator as well. I know when I was a kid I would have quickly figured out I could just buy my own picnic tap with hose and QD and serve myself beer all day longMy kids are only 3 and they don't know anything about beer or my kegerator or anything. I am pretty sure as they get older and definitely are in high school I will be getting some tap locks to put on each tap since I would not be a happy camper if my kids were drinking or letting their friends drink if I was not around or heck at all when they are not old enough. I got plenty of years before that but the idea has crossed my mind already too. LocksHmm I might need to start saving now for them too.

This is my fear about my youngest boy, as he is as smart, or smarter than me when I was younger. There isn't much he can't figure out.You'll have to lock the door to the kegerator as well.
