I'm guessing that a shorter bean just means I should put a few more in.

I also bought my beans online from Vanilla Plantation, I have them in recycled maple syrup jars I put about 4-5 in each jar but i forgot to spit them open before I put them in they have been on the go for about three months now. Do you think I should fish them out and split open??

How does it smell GHM and do you give it a shake regularly?  I have a huge amount of beans in a large coffee jar making vanilla paste (apparently you just cut off one end and squeeze the paste from the plumped up beans to get paste).  The liquid sure smells like vanilla essence though so I'm sure it doesn't make much difference one way or the other if they're left long enough. Mine have been in there since last year sometime.

I've just bought 50 vanilla beans for $27 delivered from eBay to start my vanilla paste and extract. It should work out so much cheaper. There's a good recipe o. The recipe community which I might try.

Are the beans covered completely with the vodka CC, it's hard to tell.
