Notes

Use between 3-4 oz real vanilla extract per 5 gallons at bottling, to taste.

Tasting notes:

Relative to the commercial product, this batch was slight darker; guess the commercial is closer to 2-3 SRM
Relative to the commercial product, this batch had more vanilla

Notes for brewing again:
Reduce vanilla extract to 3 oz per 5 gallon
Reduce 2-row to 15 lbs
Reduce Crystal 10L to 1 lb
Reduce lactose sugar to 1 lb
Change CaCl selection to dihydrate and recalculate
Consider use of a cleaner yeast such as US-05
Consider removing aroma hops or moving back to 30min
