Has anyone ever tried the BVIP recipe with wlp007 before? Normally I would go with the yeast the recipe calls for, however I have an opportunity to repitch a large fresh slurry of wlp007. I thought it would still be pretty good. If not I was considering a russian imp stout. Also does anyone have experience with adding the vanilla beans directly into primary once its done instead of transferring to a secondary? Trying to eliminate extra transfers / work where I can. Thanks for the help!
I have no experience with either. Go for it…it will probably be OK. But I control you that there’s a reason the recipe is the way it is. But I can’t vouch for stuff I haven’t tried, so you’ll have to find out.
