I must admit this was mostly taken from the kit brewing forum as Chris the Fish gave me the inspiration for this.
I'm going to get some sticks of cinnamon and boil them with sugar to impart the cinnamon flavour a little when the kit has brewed and been kegged for 6 weeks. when i bottle I shall drop the cinnamon sugar solution into 1 of the bottles and taste it to see how it fits before making a decision.
So on to the Kit or should I say Kits


Black stuff in the FV

Hops to add much hopynes here

Yeast has been doing its thing for a while nice head


This will be left for 7 days before I check it when its ready I shall keg it for 6 weeks then it will be bottled for final conditioning up to Christmas. I tasted the brew and it was sweet to be expected also very hopy and very bitter which the conditioning should knock most of the bitterness out of it, seeing as I have used 2 cans it will be full bodied and just what's needed on those cold winter nights. Unless its all gone badly wrong and its too bitter in which case it will be left for longer before drinking.
2 hours after bunging the yeast in its got an inch of foam on the top and is bubbeling very well.
