I brewed a pumpkin ale about a week ago, and I want to punch up the spice character. Should I add the vanilla bean and spices to vodka and let them sit before adding them to the carboy, or should I just dump them in? Will this risk infection? The beer is 5%abv, and only used 0.8 oz of hops.
 
That might be a good way to introduce spices with the vanilla. But I soak'em scraped (vanilla beans) & chopped in vodka in a small jar during primary. It takes a while to soak the flavors out/dissolve the vanilla paste from the beans.
