I am brewing a milk stout and plan to add three vanilla beans (which will be boiled to reduce risk of contamination). My question is, do I have to let the beans sit in the secondary for a week to extract the flavor. Or, can I just put the beans in the secondary, stir it up for a minute and then bottle (where it will sit/carbonate for a couple weeks)?
Alternatively, what about steeping the vanilla beans and then just throwing the liquid into the secondary, stirring it around for a minute, and then bottling?
Hopefully this makes sense.
Thanks!
