    Vanilla (whole bean)

    Vanilla Beans have a sweet, perfumed aroma with a woody or smoky flavor. Pure Vanilla Extract has a similar aroma. Vanilla Beans are the long, greenish-yellow seed pods of the tropical orchid plant, Vanilla planifolia. Before the plant flowers, the pods are picked, unripe, and cured until they're dark brown. The process takes up to six months.

    Cinnamon (stick)

    Cinnamon is the dried bark of various laurel trees in the cinnamomun family. One of the more common trees from which Cinnamon is derived is the cassia. Ground cinnamon is perhaps the most common baking spice. Cinnamon sticks are made from long pieces of bark that are rolled, pressed, and dried.

My brother and I brewed this beer about a month and a half ago. It turned out great! Great taste and very thick. We'll definitely brew this one again.

Recipe looks really good. When did you add the vanilla bean and cinnamon? Also how did you prepare the vanilla bean? Thanks

We actually doubled the vanilla bean and cinnamon stick. We used 2 whole vanilla beans & 1 cinnamon stick in the carboy. We then added the same when we moved it to the secondary fermenter after about a week. Just slit the vanilla beans and bring them and the cinnamon stick to a boil in a small amount of water and add them (but not the water). We also added one ground up nutmeg to the primary, if you want to go that route.
