Has anyone brewed a vanilla stout? I just bottle a vanilla stout and it did not have much vanilla taste. Is this something that will change with time? Here is my recipe:
6.6 lbs of Dark Mal Syrup
12 oz Crystal 20L
10 oz roasted Barley
4 oz Chocolate Malt
6 oz oatmeal
1 oz Simcoe Hops
.5 lb lactose
Safale Yeast.
put all the grains in a muslin bag and the oats in another bag. Steeped the grains and oats at 150-170 for 30 mins in gallons of water. Then added the extract and stirred it up. Brought the Wort to a boil. Once boiling, added the hops and boiled for an hour. Added Lactose in last 30 minutes. Added to fermentor and pitched yeast.
Fermented in primary for 1 week and 1 week in secondary. I added Vanilla beans and insides during secondary. I just bottled today.
Also, how long should I let it condition?
