Notes

3 Vanilla Beans were spliced and scrapped, then added to vodka for a week. Contents were then added to the fermentation carboy 3 days prior to kegging.

Other worthy notes: the last addition of kent golding hops were added after the wort chilled to almost 78 degrees. This was an accident but I went with it. We will see how the beers turns out.
