I sort of combined the two recipes and did all grain BIAB. One thing I found was that although it had the vanilla it was a little lacking in some flavor and body of the original. It was also too dark. If I had it to do over again I might skip the chocolate malt and add Crystal 120 for color...
Just bottled this last week. Brewed BIAB. OG was 1.065 and finished 1.010. Taste pre-bottling was good. Just need it to mellow a bit while it carbonates. I didn't have a secondary so I added vanilla soaked vodka to the primary at 10 days. I can't wait to try it in another week or two.
