Hi MoonMaster,
Vanilla extract is made by adding vanilla beans to 35% abv alcohol (typically vodka, but bourbon, rum, brandy, etc all work). 5 vanilla beans are used for 8 ounces of alcohol to make a single-fold vanilla extract. Think about how much vanilla flavor this would contain.
You...
Just came across this thread and am wondering how the beer has been progressing?! Anything you would change as of now? How does it look?
Quick question... Why use vanilla extract instead of whole vanilla beans? Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Brent
