Vanilla Stout

In Primary fermenter: 3.5 Gallons filtered and bottled water mix
Lobster pot: 1.5 Gallons (6 quartz) filtered and bottled water mix

Had 2X 3.3lbs of malt extract, needed 6lbs so poured all in but didn't
try to get the remnants out of each container so a lot was left behind.

01/06/2013    Cutup two vanilla beans and soaked in a
	      covered glass of vodka (just enough to
	      cover them in a short glass).
01/08/2013    Transfered to secondary and added vanilla,
	      including the beans.  Smelled like beer and very
	      nice color.
01/22/2013    Bottled (3 big 36 small).
	      Small taste, very malty, vanilla is more of an
	      aftertaste.  Could use more.
02/01/2013    Tasted one.  Nicely carbonated, great color,
	      nice vanialla taste (not too strong).  Could
	      probably use a little more aging to be more
	      complex.  Maltiness was actually good.
03/25/2013    Only a few left, but still very good.
08/11/2013    Found one big bottle was forgotten in the
	      closet.  Sadly it wasn't very good.
