So I just kegged a Porter that I brewed up from a Midwest LME kit. My brew partner, who is just as green as I am, suggested we add some vanilla to it. My question is, can this be done? I'm currently carbing the beer via forced CO2 in my corny keg. My thoughts were to buy 2-3 vanilla beans, slit them with knife, throw them into a hop bag and sink it to the bottom of the keg via some stainless steel ball bearing or marbles. Thoughts? I don't want to do this if I raise the risk of ruining the beer substantially or if it will impart very little flavor. Since I've never done this sort of thing before, I figured I'd ask the experts here. Thanks in advance.
