This may have been answered somewhere else, but I couldn't find what I was looking for. I'm thinking about using cocoa nibs and vanilla beans for a future batch and was curious about preparation and timing. Is there any protocol for "sanitizing" additions like these? Is it more beneficial to add them to the primary or should you wait until secondary? I want to figure this out before I formulate a batch and get all of my bases covered. I am also open to suggestions on your favorite honeys to use when working with cocoa flavors.
Thanks so much!
