    Just as a matter of interest, how much bourbon did you use to soak the vanilla pods? Did you dump the bourbon as well as the vanilla pods into the secondary?

    cracked open a bottle yesterday after chilling for a few hours .

    It is delicious , only a slight hint of Vanilla so maybe up the amount next time , theres a hint of the bourbon taste also but very faint , and a bit darker than expected it pours light brown but looks more like a porter in the glass , i`ll defo do this brew again
