So I just brewed this up a couple of days ago. It smells really great and I can't wait for it to be done. I used 13lbs of Tupelo honey, in the starter I used 1/3 cup of honey with 2 cups of warm water and pitched the liquid yeast into that the day before. I only heated up a little over a gallon of water to dissolve the 13lbs of honey and then put that into a carboy with 2 gallons of cool water to bring the temp down to pitch the starter. I aerated the must w/o the yeast in it really good by rolling the carboy around with a stopper in it and it was pretty foamy then, I scrapped away some of it when I pitched the yeast and then shook it pretty well after that. I added 3tsp of a yeast nutrient then. I put the airlock on it and its doing about 2-3 blips a sec right now. In about a month I plan on adding probably 5 8in vanilla beans halfed and split down the middle. If that ends up being too much I will add some oak chips, kind tbd, to mellow out the vanilla.
