    This sounds great, did you boil everything bar the kit for 60mins? How much rum did you soak the vanilla in?

    Did you add the rum to the brew also, or just the soaked vanilla pod?

    Sounds interesting alright, I done one recently with cocoa nibs x100g bought in health shop, it has mellowed a lot since Xmas, I feel head retention suffers a bit with additional ingredients
