My porter will be done in my primary fermenter Sunday or Monday. I was thinking of adding some wood chips and/or vanilla in the secondary. For those that have done this, I have some questions. Please keep in mind that this is a 5 gallon batch.
1. do you prefer vanilla beans or vanilla extract? How much of either and how long do you let the beans sit?
2. where do you get wood chips and what should I be looking for? Again, how much and how long?
I know I can get vanilla beans or extract anywhere. With wood chips, could I use something like the oak chips that they sell for bbqs and grills?
Thanks!
