I'm brewing a Mocha Oatmeal Porter and I'm soaking my nibs in vodka for about 72hrs. I'll dump them in the secondary and then rack my beer on top of it for a couple weeks. Am I on the right track? I'm scared that I've possibly put my beer in danger by using cheap vodka to soak my nibs in. Also I've read that adding a vanilla bean to the nibs helps smooth out bitterness and helps with overall flavor. Is any of this true? Thanks for the input ahead of time.
