This is my second try with this stout recipe because the first batch seems to be infected. I noticed it at bottling time. It's a pretty basic dry stout recipe to which I'm adding vanilla.
I fermented 3 weeks in primary, then racked to secondary w/ vanilla beans for 2 weeks.
This time, to avoid contamination, I will soak the beans in vodka before adding. Question: is there any problem with simply adding the beans to the primary and NOT racking to secondary? Any thoughts?
