BVIP

I kegged the Bourbon Vanilla Imperial Porter the other night. It certainly is different than anything I've done before. I ended up leaving the vanilla in for about 16 days, which is a little bit over what the recommended time is. But, it is good and there is a lot of flavor.
I noticed that my refractometer was out of calibration, so the og was really about 1.078, and the fg was 1.021. So, for just the beer, it is 7.4% abv, and add in 375 mL of bourbon, and it is close to 8%. Yummy.
