today i am brewing AHS vanilla porter, and i have a couple questions for those of you who have also made it or have made a very similar beer.
the ingredients include some vanilla flavoring (it is a powder) i am not terribly interested in using this because i feel that vanilla beans would give this beer a much better flavor and it would be more natural. if so would i need to add the beans at secondary?
i am wondering if anyone has done this or am i just totally overthinking it.
lastly, i am going to be making this a vanilla bourbon porter, when should i add the bourbon? begining of secondary? late in secondary? before bottling?
thanks a lot
brew on
