I've provided the beer for our family Christmas get together - a Woodforde's Wherry homebrew kit, souped up with a bag of DME (which will bump the ABV up to around 5%) and a load of extra Fuggles and EKG hops. It's been in the barrel conditioning for a couple of weeks now, so should be in peak condition by Christmas.
My dad is also getting a load of Gadd's in, just in case something goes wrong with the homebrew, but I had a little taster the other day and I must say it's coming along very nicely.
