So...i have this wonderful Smoked Porter that I made. Now, i'm looking to remake it and add Vanilla, Oak and some Bourbon. Any suggestions? I've heard a couple different theories
1) Soak everything in the bourbon, then just pitch it into the secondary for for a week.
2) Only pitch the oak cubes, because they will have absorbed the Vanilla and Bourbon flavors, but do NOT pitch the extra bourbon.
3) Soak the Vanilla in Volda, pitch the entire thing. Soak the Oak chips in the bourbon, but only pitch in the oak chips.
Anyone have any suggestions on what I might want to do here?
