Notes

Add 2-3 Vanilla beans to keg
See Water Chemistry for mineral additions


How to make caramel:
2 cup table sugar and 2-3 tbsp water, boiled until the sugar melts/carmelizes, takes about 20 mins and is almost completely fermentable, leaving a sweet toffee-like flavor. You can darken more or less depending on the flavor you're looking for. For extra flavor, I add a dash of salt and vanilla extract, and spray the cooling tray (foil) with cooking spray.
