(Include any important notes from brew day until tasting)

Heated 4 gallons of cider to 180F for 30 minutes and added sugar and honey. Cooled to 70F with immersion chiller. Pitched yeast starter and added Yeast nutrient and yeast energizer. Have blowoff tube attached. Poured a pint of Graupel. It's very clean, not much carbonation after 1 day, but I wanted to taste it.

Notes:

Clear, light amber with slight carbonation head that quickly dies out. Cinnamon and cloves are pronounced, Apple cider comes through as well. Slight apple cider taste with cinnamon. Taste has a feel to Christmas/Thanksgiving with the taste characteristics. Thin with a slight alcohol burn as it is swollowed. Refreshing, easy to drink, but alcohol content is present by end of the pint. Maybe can only drink 2 or 3.
