Tasted this batch for the first time today. It came out much lighter in color than the pictures posted earlier in this thread, I am thinking that might be due to it being my first all grain batch and I ended up adding some water after the boil. The cinnamon flavor came through which I was...

Thanks for the input! I actually used just half a packet of yeast. There was quite a bit of activity initially, compared to another kit I am brewing that took a couple days to start up, but it looks like it has slowed down and a lot of the gunk has started to drop down. I couldn’t get too much...
