Hi, I want to try using a mortar and pestle or spice grinder to make a powder/paste out of some fresh vanilla beans and add them to a stout. has anyone done this? I am going to add the powder/paste to a keg along with some cacao nibs and coconut and then rack a fermented stout onto it for a week or so. I will probably mix the keg a few times a day to get better extraction. How many beans worth of powder/paste should I use for an apparent vanilla flavor? I'm getting some juicy fresh beans.
