Hello all! New to brewing, halfway thru my first batch. Decided upon APA brew kit. So far so good.
Already brainstorming my next brew. Currently my favorite beer is Anchor Steam. So I was thinking along those lines. Due to its biscuit, caramel, malty profile thought a little vanilla in there could be fun. Want to add to 2 vanilla beans and some med plus american oak cubes to secondary. Does this sound doable? I've been reading a ton about how to use vanilla and oak, just not sure how these additions might change the profile?
Any thoughts?
