Hi, your Open By Christmas recipe looks pretty good. I was wondering what the vanilla actually is? Extract? Pods? Also the oranges, do you use the juice and peel as in previous recipes or just the peel as stated? much thanks

It's Vanilla Extract. I never wanted to hassle with the variability and pain of doing the whole vanilla bean soaking thing, so I fine-tuned the amount of real (not imitation) vanilla extract to use over the years. Good luck with the recipe! :-)

Oops...I use the peel (grated off the oranges) in the boil and the juice of those oranges after the wort has cooled.

Maybe I am not seeing it, but what yeast are you using for your holiday standard? It doesn't download with recipe.

I'm not sure why it's not showing up...must be my bad. Either way, I always use Safale 04 dry yeast. I get consistent results that I'm happy with. Good luck with it! :-)

For your Summer Lime Ale..How much Lime do you suggest

I always used 3 limes...grate the peel of the limes and put the grated peel into the boil. Then juice the limes and put the juice of the 3 limes into the cooled wort before putting in the yeast. Enjoy!
