I was going off of what I saw but obviously could be wrong. So what would you recommend that I do? I didn't think a shot would be either but they recommended at the brew store letting 3 Madagascar vanilla beans cored and chopped soak in a shot of vodka for a week minimum so that's what we did.

Here is a pic of the carboy. We got 95% of the yeast out during transfer as well.

Brewed an imperial stout few weeks ago and last night we moved it to the secondary & prior to adding the beer we added vanilla infused vodka ( about a shot ). Tonight when I checked on it there is a light film spotted on the top, any idea what this is? Is it mold? Help!

- With the vanilla beans, take the innards out, chop the pods, let them soak in vodka or bourbon for about a week and add to secondary. Id say start with a little, wait a week then taste and add more if needed until your taste is satisfied.

This is going to be my first time brewing the imperial stout, I have 3 madagascar vanilla beans shaved/chopped and sitting in vodka to add to the secondary, any helpful tips?
