    Old orchard apple pie juice

    You were misinformed I let my 5 gal batches of apple wine ferment with two cinnamon sticks in the carboy it infuses the batch with cinnamon and leaves a nice cinnamon aftertaste in my batches. I also pasteurize my must prior to fermenting and I add allspice while boiling it always does good for me.
