On brew day, begin soaking vanilla and nibs in a shallow container with just enough neutral vodka to cover.
At 1 week into fermentation, pour coffee beans (whole) into a large muslin bag and "steep" in the fermenter. At the same time, pour the entire vanilla/nibs mixture into the fermenter.
Remove the muslin bag with coffee beans after a few days when the coffee flavor reaches your preferred strength.

Could you add some brew steps (like other recipes) for a newbie with only 6'ish extract brews under his belt? Partial mashing is new to me and I'm a little confused on when to add the coffee beans, vanilla beans, and cocoa nibs (and in the primary or secondary). I still brew in a bucket but transfer to a corny keg for conditioning, carbonating, or aging. TIA - Mike
Hi Mike, I was just reading the email you sent over. I'll reply there too - but this partial recipe is going to be just like any other extract kit except the "steeping" of grains is done for an entire hour at a more precise temperature range. You'll hold the grains at 150-155 for one hour before discarding them and beginning your one hour boil. Let us know if you have more questions.
