Hey Folks,
After about 20 hours of reading this forum and several other I think I've reached information overload, so I thought I would ask the advice of the experts.
After a rough go of obtaining BCBS in the Michigan market I figured I would try to brew my own Bourbon Aged style beer.
I'm thinking going with the 5 gallon dark lord clone on adventures in homebrewing.

I would like to add some vanilla and bourbon flavors to this recipe in the secondary.
What method do you guys find is best?
I was considering taking 375ml of a bourbon, adding 3-4 Vanilla beans and wood (Spiral, Chips, honeycomb)? And soaking it all for a together for few weeks, then tossing it all in the secondary for a month or two.
Does this seem like the proper method to get the desired flavors of something in line with BCBS, KBS, or any self respected BA beer?
Thanks!
Chris
