I just made a cider, I used fresh crushed apple juice not from concentrate. I also took the cinnamon sticks and boiled/simmered them for around 25 min. After cinnamon had made my house smell amazing I started adding sugar to make a simple sugar out of the cinnamon water. I added the juice to a 1 gallon carboy along with some sugar which I shook till it dissolved and then added the simple syrup and two sticks of cinnamon. After that I took S.G. readings and increased the SG to 1.116. I am just wondering what anyone thinks this will be a good batch. I plan on adding at least 1 more stick during secondary fermentation. I am still fairly new an brewing and this is my first batch of cider. I was wondering what the experts thought.... I used lalvin ec-1118 yeast... Any advice or criticisms would be appreciated
