Add honey, brown sugar, and all spices. Keep at 160 for 15 minutes, stirring to dissolve honey and brown sugar. Put 3 gal cider in 5 gal food grade pail. Add hot must to pail, straining out spices. When temperature drops below 80 d. F, pitch yeast and add 3.5 tsp yeast nutrient, agitate pail with top on to mix well. Airlock and let sit for 1 month, then add last gallon of cider, and boil 2 cups water and steep 5 sticks of cinnamon (crushed) for 15 minutes. Remove cinnamon and add water to must. Add honey dissolved into boiled water as needed to enhance flavor and body to taste. When ferment is complete, bottle and age at least 1 month.
