Vanilla paste?

[powerpunk5000]

So my local home brew store was telling me about how instead of vanilla beans they use this nrw vanilla paste. And its suppose to be equal to 3 beans in 1 ozs.

They are also a brewey and use it in all there beer so i tried it, it was also super cheap $4 for 1 oz

So i put my beer in the keg shook the crap out of it to force carb it and pulled my 1st beer and a bunch of vanilla is sitting at the bottom

Did i do something wrong?

Vanilla doesn't dissolve. It settles at the bottom of the container, in this case a keg ....

So do you still get the flavor throughout the whole keg?

You should. But it may take some time to extract the flavors and aromas from the pulp. Definitely at keezer temps.

How did the beer in that glass taste?

It was really good the 1st glass a nunch of vanilla but great!

You should probably invert, roll, or shake the keg a bit to disperse the beer that has most of the vanilla extraction, so it's not only in the bottom gallon.

I think a floating dip tube or shortened tube might help the situation.
