Question: I didn't know whether to crush the cinnamon stick or just leave it? In the end I just broke it up a bit. I boiled everything except the canned extract for 20 mins and then strained it into the fermenter and added the extract and the yeast, at 22 degrees C. Also, should I have strained it, as most of the recipes on this forum don't mention straining, but I was worried that the bits of lemon pulp, cloves, etc. would gum up the tap and bottler? OG is 1.054.
