Vanilla cream ale?

@Ken Lenard

It’s been awhile since I made one but it’s very doable and it’s very nice. Also, I used to use beans but eventually found that a very good vanilla extract will get you where you want with much less effort and risk of contamination. I make a Christmas beer with cinnamon and vanilla… I use ground cinnamon and about 2 tbsp of a good vanilla extract in the secondary and the flavor is absolutely dynamite. Consider using 1 tbsp in a cream ale, blonde ale or other pale-colored beer. If the flavor of the vanilla is weak, you can increase it in the bottling bucket, keg, etc. Cheers.

Ken, what brand of extract do you use? I haven’t had much luck finding a good one, would love to have a recommendation. Be nice to have some around just incase I want to get creative at the last minute.
