About half way through, put the remaining 3 gallons of water in a separate pot and bring up to approx. 173F. Pull the grain bag out and allow to drip into the pot. Then dunk sparge the grain bag into the 3 gallon pot for 15 mins. Lift out grain bag and allow to drip. Combine the sparge pot into the mash pot and prepare for boil.
60 minute boil with hop additions as listed. Add 1lb of Honey at flame out and stir in to avoid scortching. Cool wort and pitch yeast. Ferment for 3 weeks at 64F ambient in fermentation chamber.
At kegging, siphon off 1qt of beer and bring to boil. Cut and scrape vanilla bean and add cinnamon stick, orange peel and ginger root in a grain bag and make a tea.
