So, I brewed a pumpkin beer earlier this year and ran out of pumpkin pie spice on brew day, so I substituted (without researching first, cuz I'm dumb) some extra cinnamon powder.
So now I have a beer on tap with way too much cinnamon.
I know the prescription is RDWHAWB and let it age.
I have two questions:
1) If I want to age the taste out, do I need to take it off the gas and let it warm back up?
2) If I'm impatient, I was thinking about adding some apple cider to the beer. I was wondering if I added apple cider with potassium sorbate in it, will it still ferment out or will the combination of cold and potassium and alcohol prevent fermentation from restarting.
I will definitely taste test before adding cider, and I'm not worried about lowering the ABV since it's at 8 or 9%.
As always thanks in advance for advice and help!
Cheers!
