Too late for cinnamon?

[birdley123]

I made some "Southern Sweet Cider" yesterday, and once I got it into the carbot and pitched the yeast, I realized that I forgot to add the cinnamon when cooking the honey, molasses, etc.
Its been 12 hours and its going crazy!
Heres my question; is there any way to add cinnamon to this during fermentation?, or should I just let it roll?
I don't want to take a chance screwing anything up, but if possible I'd love to get some in there!
Thanks!

I've added cinnamon during fermentation, just a little or it can get overwhelming.

What would happen if i steeped a couple of cinn sticks in a cup of AJ and added that to primary? Seems like that would be the most effective yet least invasive way to get some in there...

It doesn't matter- cinnamon is a spice and won't contaminate your cider. By the way, I don't heat sugars either, like honey, except to get them warm enough to dissolve. Heating destroys the delicate flavor and aroma of honey.

I agree with yooper 100%. The only time I would heat sugars is when I'm making a caramel sauce. I think you could add the cinnamon at virtually any point, including the secondary.

I use cinnamon sticks .... I toss a few in primary, and perhaps a couple in secondary, depending on flavor (perhaps 4 + 2, on average ....not overpowering, but noticeable enough )
