I want to make a vanilla mead. I have plenty of local honey, and a bag full of fresh Madagascar beans. I read a thread about vanilla mead but that guy added a crap ton of beans and extract to the primary. I always heard adding to primary killed taste so I assume thats why he had to add so much. I think I would rather add to secondary and remove after a time.
Any advice as to how many beans to add to get a nice vanilla taste but not overpowering?
Also, this will be my second mead and I was considering using about 12# of honey with D47....and the beans of course. Does this sound like a good mix?
Thanks
