Dont download it.
Write Steam Support, they will repack it in his inventory. so you can gift it to the correct account

This. As long as you never played it you can get Steam Support to fix it. If you played it even for a short time they will usually be a lot less helpful, but as long as you didn't you should be able to convince them to help you out.

Looks like the best idea , and i know a guy who did it so it probably will work.

So you were logged in your steam client, but your brother was logged in on the browser, the email that gives you the link to redeem the game would've ask you to log in with YOUR steam account, sounds like something doesn't quite fit.

Doesn't happen to me at least, perhaps a security feature?

Write to steam Support (with evidence) That happen to me 1 time when i wanted to give a Present to my gf that i won (it was not a steamgift group if your wondering or in this website) I explain; gave both profiles and giveaway details Screenshots and link. after 1 week they took the game out of my steam and i gave it to her.
that happen cause of my fault cause it was the first time i won + saw a serial number lol, I was expecting to see the name of the game before a question of adding it to my steam account appear (wanted to make sure the key was working) so i could give it to her....... but yeah it just added it auto (Stupid me lol)
PS: Being honest pays

^ this
Give the creator of the giveaway and SG support a heads up while you wait for Steam Support to clear up the mistake. It may lead to less confusion about why the gift is not yet marked as received, or suspicions regarding regifting/not activating won gifts.
