Update to this. Fricken awesome, used wlp775 (English cider). Used 4 cinnamon stick. Turned out dry, full of apple and cinnamon flavors, and delicious! Very happy with this recipe!!!

To the OP, I bought my first gun a few months ago which was a ruger sr40c and its a great pistol. Fun as hell to shoot!

Gotta work third shift at the hospital then drive 2hours north straight after. It will call for some home brewed porters and ciders, followed by a barrel aged barley wine from Jackie O's. it could always be worse!

Also should mention I wasn't expecting it to be amazing but just a different beast. Anyone have similar experiences? I'm thinking of adding more lemon to give it some more tang.

Update - One week into fermentation, some weird flavors going on. Not quite sure how to put it in words but not great or what I thought. Measures 1.020. Blueberries barely if at all detectable. Hoping if I rack it on 5-10 lbs in the secondary it will be more desirable. Any input is welcome!

This sounds great - I've been looking for a solid and relatively easy cider to brew up with a new abv..and this fit perfect! How much of the cinnamon came through? Do you think adding an extra stick would still be good?

Hey, this might be the stupidest question asked on hbt but by dextrose do you mean just simple table sugar or what?

Thanks guys - def will add pectic enzyme and the lemon juice. Blueberry and lemon was my origjnall idea but just was worried about it being to acidic, so I won't add too much. As far as the yeast goes, I think I may stay with it figuring I already bought 2 packs and might add additional honey...
