Infusing Goose Island Bourbon County Stout

Already got plans for those bottles we traded?

I've never attempted this, but am intrigued. I just like the regular so much that I'm almost too lazy to try it, though.

 

That video hurt my heart.

 

I imagine just putting the cut bean in your beer would be way too intense. Vanilla beans are very strong.

 

Maybe tie up a tea sack with cinnamon vanilla and guajillo. I've never really considered this a good idea, but I'm going to give it a shot.

 

I use this vodka infuser called The Vodka Zinger to infuse beers, similar to the dfh jr randall, it's got a screw on bottom compartment for ingredients with a screen to keep stuff in there and a sealing top.

When I infused bcbs 15 with vanilla beans, I took half of one whole large vanilla bean, then cut that half in half long ways, then cut that up into cm size pieces, leaving the seeds in tact. Added all those pieces with the bcbs, put in fridge for about 24 hrs and it was fantastic. Thinking about letting it go a little longer next time to get even more vanilla.
