Proposed recipe for a vanilla metheglyn
6 pounds cotton honey
6 pounds mesquite honey
16 Fluid ounces blackstrap molasses
3 packages of US-05 Ale yeast
Yeast nutrient/energizer (per staggard nutrient schedule)
3 vanilla beans (in secondary)
As normal I plan to bring the water just up to the boiling point them stir in the honey, molasses, and the first adition of nutrient/energizer. I will re-hydrate the yeast and pitch once the must is at room temp. Once I reach the FG I rack and add the vanilla.
To all of those brewers out there with SO much more experience then I, how dose this recipe sound?
Any and all comments/suggestion would be appreciated.
