Re: Mr P's Hot Cinnamon Schnapps (fire piss).

I used Korintje Cinnamon Sticks in 97.5 neutral for a month and added the recommended sugar syrup. I already mentioned the Swerve sweetener didn't work so good.

Greetings from deep in the woods

Looking to build a Reflux Still. Looks like this is the place to find some good ideas. Leaning towards a LM version, but am still soaking up the education.
