So I'm interested in brewing a cinnamon oatmeal stout so it'll be ready around Christmas time/the winter. My question is, what are the differences between adding cinnamon to the boil vs. in secondary? From reading other posts I have gathered that most people who add it during the boil do so for 1-5 minutes and when people add it in secondary they generally soak it in vodka? I'm not sure what the purpose of the vodka is.
Thanks for any advice.
