First time brewer here with a few basic questions. I am brewing my first batch tomorrow which will be the American Wheat Ale from Northern Brewer that comes with their single stage starter kit. I'm looking to add some flavoring to the end of the boil....vanilla, orange peel and cinnamon. I'm planning on using a vanilla bean split and scraped, a couple of cinnamon sticks and half a zested orange peel.
Questions:
1. Should I filter the above out prior to transferring to my fermenting bucket or should I leave them in the fermenting bucket? If filter, what is the best way to filter these things out?
2. I have a large refrigerator in my garage that has some space. Should I make use of this space to cold crash the beer after fermentation ? Are there any benefits in doing this? Or should I just stock it up with more beer for consumption while my brew is fermenting/bottle conditioning?!
thanks
