Notes
  • On brew day, cut one vanilla bean in half and using a sharp knife, split it open lengthwise. Let soak in 2 oz. of bourbon.

  • After 7 days of fermentation,
    If using a secondary fermenter, tranfer beer and add vanilla and
    bourbon mixture. If just using a primary fermenter, add
    bourbon/vanilla directly to primary fermenter. Leave for an
    additional 7 days for these flavors to absorb into your beer.
