The Comfy Computer Chair of Fame has been dusted off and into we have seated a typical garden variety gnomebrewer…err homebrewer. He say he resembles those diminutive spirits from magic and folklore, I just don’t see it. Please give a warm welcome to Mr. Jason Nelms. Name: Jason Nelms Day Job: IT SQL Monkey When did you start homebrewing? I started about 7 years ago while my wife was pregnant with our youngest daughter. What got you into homebrewing? A person?
