Interview with a Homebrewer – Microbe Man
A hobby well chosen by our next featured homebrewer. With a background in microbiology and chemistry, this brewer should have no problems working the finicky nature of some of beers complex ingredients. Having brewed for quite some time also means he’s moved from “kit” to “keg” (not sure if he kegs or not, but I needed something fluid to write). Please welcome to the Comfy Computer Chair of Fame, Homebrew Dave Morton – @dmonbeer. Oh yeah, he hails from Altrincham, United Kingdom.
