Before you use it
It extracts fast and dominates faster — taste every day and pull the sticks the moment it reads right. Whole sticks are far easier to control than ground cinnamon, which clouds the beer and never settles.
Description
Whole bark sticks give the warm baking-spice note that defines pumpkin ales, winter warmers and spiced holiday beers. Cold-side steeping keeps the aroma bright rather than stewed.
