I've brewed up a batch of Cider House Select Apple Cider and want to try adding cinnamon to some of it. I took a gravity reading yesterday and it read 1.004 so it appears to be done fermenting but I still need to add sweetener and let it condition for probably another 1-2 weeks before I bottle.
I'm wondering whether I can rack ~2 gallons of it to a secondary, add some cinnamon (sticks?) and let that condition for a while before bottling. Would this give it a nice cinnamon flavor? Or should I add it when bottling? How much cinnamon should I use?
Does anyone know where I can buy 2 gallon carboys? I don't think 1 gallon is enough and 3 gallons is too much to experiment with.
Thanks!
