Notes

Combine 2 1/2 gallon spring water with honey, bentonite, and yeast nutrient and bring to a boil. Skim and remove scum that forms on top of must. After 5-10 minutes of boiling, cover and remove from heat.

Cut vanilla beans lengthwise to expose interior of beans for greater flavor extraction and insert into 5 gallon jug along with cinnamon sticks and sweet orange peels (inside tied grain bag). Once must has cooled to room temperature, add to glass jug and use remaining spring water to bring water level up to 5 gallons. Pitch proofed yeast, add fermentation lock, and store in dark place for 7 to 10 days.

Once primary fermentation slows/stops, rack into clean jug. Rinse cinnamon sticks and vanilla beans with tap water and add to secondary fermentation chamber. After 2 additional months of storage in a cool dark place, bottle as preferred (flat or sparkling).
