port

[ash1]

i was just thinking how difficult it would be to make a port for xmas, i got a book by c.j.j berry that has a port in it but i was wondering if anyone has made a easy version or if it would be ready for xmas? thanks

sweet, high in alcohol, very rich and full bodied

AND IF YOU WANT A FUNNY CHRISTMAS BREW PLEASE Search for my recipe for "Mince pie brew" on this forum.
I swear its lovely but I think people were too shy to try it. That only takes a few weeks so give it a look (I was thinking about making another batch just because)
