Notes

Roast 1-lb organic pecans until aromatics are released; grind coarsely and add to mash. *

Use light or medium unsulphured molasses at 5-minutes left at the end of the boil. Do not use blackstrap. Approximate usage 0.5lbs or 2/3 cups of molasses.

Scrape interior of (1-2) Grade B Madagascar Vanilla bean into bottom of secondary fermentation vessel and rack beer on top of vanilla for 7-14 days or until desired flavor is achieved.

Pecan Prep
Pecans are oily and that can have an effect on head retention, texture etc. so it is crucial to remove as much oil from the pecans as possible prior to brewing with them. Crush pecans and cook at 315F for 10-15 minutes. A food processor works really well for the crushing. To squeeze out oils, place in paper bags and let them soak or place under paper towels and place weight on them. Repeat this process as many times as necessary.

Alternate: Use 4oz. of Brewer's Best Pecan All-natural flavoring
