We have a bourbon barrel in my basement working on a big RIS right now. We are thinking down the road at future brews.
Thinking about doing Denny's Vanilla Porter and was wondering if tossing a handful of vanilla beans in the barrel would impart any vanilla flavor to the barrel once done? Might be better off to put the vanilla in the secondary before introducing it to the barrel.
Anyone have experience using vanilla beans in a bourbon barrel?
Thanks
