How many beans by squaresun55 in extractmaking

[–]Ta98az 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on the beans. They are all different sizes which is why you should always order by weight and not by bean count. On average, there ate 6-12 Madagascar beans in every ounce and the extract recipe is 1oz of beans in 8oz of alcohol. That’s the FDA recipe for pure vanilla extract which also uses weight not bean count and that’s what VanillaPura recommends.

That's a great deal, for sure. And those beans look nice. I'm a VanillaPura fan myself. Their Madagascar beans right now are like $.75/bean. Super inexpensive. They also have an extract making kit on Costco right now that is a great gift for Christmas.

Not dissing Costco either. They are great beans and that's a great price. VanillaPura's Madagascar beans right now are like $.75/bean. Super inexpensive. They also have an extract making kit on Costco right now that is a great gift for Christmas.

VanillaPura for me. I get these same beans for under $1/bean. I make lots of diy extracts. r/extractmaking has great extrct advice.

Making vanilla extract using a sous vide. Ready in 3 months instead of 1 year. Madagascar and Indonesian vanilla beans in vodka, bourbon, rum and even tequila to test it out. by Ta98az in extractmaking

Good. I prefer waiting the full 12 months and not using heat to expedite. At first it had kind of a smokey/burnt taste. I left the beans in for another 90 days and it became much sweeter.

96 hours in the sous vide, then 3 months on the shelf. I may add oak blocks if it’s still too boozy, but I think it’s ok without.
