On brew day, zest 2-3 oranges & soak with the vanilla bean in the bourbon. Leave to soak, shaking the jar everyday until 24 hours before bottling/kegging. Add the contents of the jar into the fermenter, straining out the vanilla bean & orange peel zest as you do so, stirring slowly to combine with the brew.
Bottle/keg as normal once sediment has settled.
Note: Vanilla essence or extract can be used in place of vanilla pods, we suggest roughly 5-15ml as a starting point.
