MRM ~ Coleman’s Cinnamon Cider

11/21/24
96 oz G.V. apple juice
1/2 gallon Kekionga Cider
1/4 lb honey
2 cinnamon sticks
S.G. 1.064 (about 8%)
71B yeast pitched dry

12/3/24
S.G. = 1.010
Nothing added and Nothing racked.  I think it’s still going.  I have another half gallon of cider to mix in to give it a really good flavor.
Going to keg this one though.

He’s done!  Kegged with a backsweetened (Eurithritol) cider.  The cinnamon doesn’t really “shine” on this one.  It was only 2 sticks.  The flavor is really good and can’t wait to see how it taste carbonated!  Final gravity was 1.000 so this is about 8% ABV.  A little less because I diluted it with a little more cider for flavor.

Drinking this now and boy oh boy is it good.  A little sweet, a little tart.  Apple flavor really comes through.  Cinnamon shines but isn’t overly done.
I will make this again for sure.
