Morning all, i am looking to start my first mead brew and had some questions about ingredient profiles. Basically I want to use whole spices (cardamon pods, vanilla beans etc.), however I'm familiar that with some spices and additives they can become overwhelming especially when steeped over a long period of time.
One of the ingredients im thinking of using was vanilla beans however I would rather add a full pod and bruise slightly so it can be removed at a point in time without decanting (tied to fishing line and a bouy-float device). Probably the best question is is there any harm to having the ingredients kept in a stainless-steel contraption inside the carboy as its maturing?
Looking forward to your replies.
