Ive made a Vanilla porter the other week and as per the instructions you just add them 7-14 days from bottling, so I did that today. Added them whole after 2 quick dips in starsan.
Doing some research after the fact it seems for best utilization they should be cut, scrapped and soaked in a little vodka.
Anyway, will I be fine with my 2 whole uncut beans added or will I get very little vanilla out of it? Should I go buy another bean to give those uncut ones a boast or would that make it too much?? Could always add a 1/2 bean.
Thanks!
