I am going to be brewing Northern Brewers Imperial Stout extract kit and am thinking about adding 2 vanilla beans in the secondary fermentor.
My concern is that the 2oz of Cascade hops added 0 min in the boil may over power the vanilla or pair oddly. Should I add 1oz instead or change the time it is added into the boil? Also should I add the vanilla beans as soon as it is put in the secondary and let it sit for the full 2-3 months or add the vanilla beans in for only the last 2 weeks or so?
