Hi All,
I'm planning to get together with some mates to brew something for Christmas, and I'm looking for inspiration. I like the idea of wassail, which from memory (Mosher is out on loan) is essentially a spiced ale - just the thing when it is snowing and getting dark at 3 in the afternoon. I've had some beautiful examples in Portland Oregon in the mid '90s - one of the factors that got me in to home brewing - but they're too rich and intense for Christmas here.
Anyone got specific ideas/recipes for an adaption that'll be more appreciated on a blazing summer's day?
