Currently sitting in my primary! Going to age it on bourbon soaked vanilla beans for a week or so. Any recommendations on how much vanilla/how long for a 1 gallon batch? Also did anyone have to add more yeast at bottling to carbonate? Or how long did it take to carbonate if it didnt?

Did my 4th all grain batch this morning. A CITRA Dipa. OG came in low due to still learning my evaporation rates so will likely be more in the IPA range. Pretty excited nonetheless. Pics!
