Cinnamon Honey Ale

Directions

1. 1
   Add honey, malt, and boiling hops to 5 gallons of water.
2. 2

   Lightly crush the cinnamon bark and add during the final 10 minutes of the boil.
4. 4
   Add the finishing hops 3 minutes from the end of the boil.
5. 5
   Sparge, cool, and siphon into primary, topping off to 5 gallons with pre-boiled water.
6. 6
   Pitch yeast, ferment, prime with 3/4 cup of dry malt boiled in 1 1/2 cups water, and bottle.
7. 7
   Allow beer to age at least a month before drinking.
8. 8
   As is typical with honey-based brews, this beer gets better and better with age.
