Winter brew

[new2brew1221]

Does anyone have a recipe to add vanilla beans to a kit? I would like to make one with some spices and vanilla beans, but am new to this.

I made this Porter kit and added vanilla beans...it was the most 'popular' brew I've made to date. It'd be great for early-winter...I soaked 3 vanilla beans in brandy for 1 week and added to the secondary fermentor for 10-days. Next time I'd add them just 3-5 days before bottling. Good luck
