Looking for an AG Vanilla Brown Ale Recipe

[JasonToews]

Im a big fan of Granville Island's Winter Ale, which is a brown ale with a vanilla after taste. Anyone out there have an all grain recipe for something similar?

Cheers

Jason

Just grab a brown ale recipe that you like and rack to secondary with 2 vanilla beans

How nice to have my recipe referenced! Thanks delusionalsociety!

As for brown ales, I think the vanilla technique would work well with the Moose Drool recipe:

It's a maltier brown ale, and you gotta love the English ale yeast. A tiny touch of sweetness, a pleasant amount of roast, really tasty crystal flavors. You may only need a week of "dry-vanilla" to get the flavor you want. Two weeks is more appropriate for darker, roastier beers (like my porter).

ooooo I love Moose Drool. I go across the border just to buy it. They don't sell it in canada due to a brewery here named "Moose Head". Apparently since the name is so close they wont sell it here.

off topic but, Hey JasonToews, any relation to Jonathan of the Blackhawks?

Just wondering.
