Just had a Breckinridge vanilla porter this weekend and would like to brew something like it. Anyone know a good extract recipe or clone kit?
Taypo said:Any recommendations on how and when to add the vanilla extract? We're debating adding it to a brown ale, but not quite sure how best to go about it.
I made two batches of vanilla porter last winter because the first one was so good. I used 3 whole vanilla beans (split in half) in the secondary and not only has the vanilla flavor not diminished, it has gotten better and better. Just last weekend I cracked open one from my first batch (bottled at the end of last November) and it was the best one yet. SWMBO loves it, too. I tried a Breckenridge after I made mine and they tasted the same to me, though age has been doing wonders to it since then. I can post the recipe if you'd like.
