Hi all
I am very new to brewing, have made a IPA using a brewhouse kit which turned out quite well. I have started one of their winterfest kits and would like to add a vanilla bean when I put it into the secondary. My question is about how much to add. It is a five gal batch so should I use a whole vanilla bean?
My plan so far is to soak the bean over night in vodka and add it to the secondary with about a week to ten days to go, is that reasonable? Should I add the vodka that the bean was soaking in as well?
Thanks for any advice
Colin
