It's that time again! I brewed the recipe below with decent results. I have been on brewing hiatus for almost a year now (got married, lost job, had baby, got new job) and I NEED to brew!! Anyone have any suggestions to tweak the recipe? I think spicing is pretty close but the sweetness was a little off and it definitely needs more vanilla. Do vanilla beans work better than REAL vanilla (not the cheap stuff). My wife loves this stuff and our anniversary is on Halloween so I need to brew this weekend or next. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
