Now do I only use beans or are the extracts o.k. to use also? Looking for a subtle flavor at the end, not too overpowering buy you will know its there. Thanks.

Used extract on a batch of vanilla porter in the secondary, and didn't come out quiet as we were hopeing.. This may settle a bit has it has only been bottled for 2 weeks, but thinking I would of rather of gone with the beans.
