I have a robust porter that is ready to keg. I plan on kegging most of it, and bottling a few 22's. I want to add vanilla only to the bottles. I am not sure how much to add to each 22. It's a pretty roasty porter, and I want the vanilla to be noticeable but not over the top.
So here's what I'm figuring...if I would use 5 oz per 5 gal, that comes out to 1.03 tsp/22oz bottle. 4 oz per 5 gal comes out to .8 tsp/22oz bottle.
So is 1 tsp per bottle too much or not enough for a 22? Or, how much vanilla extract would you use for 5 gal of robust porter? I can do the math from there.
I know most people would use beans in the secondary. But like I said, I only want to add it to 2 or 3 bottles.
cheers.
