Love these beans!
When I opened these beans, the aroma of chocolate was the first thing I noticed! So good! I have them extracting in white rum. It’s going to be worth the wait. Yum!

Love the Luminaria beans!
Nice beans with lots of oils. I found them to have a very prominent floral aroma. I have them in vodka. It’s going to be delicious!

I love the Lindi Tanzania beans. A bold, pronounced flavor of vanilla, along with the sweet and bold flavors of spiciness.

These beans were beautiful
These beans were beautiful, long and full of caviar. I made three orders and every order the beans were just outstanding. They are without a doubt the best beans I have ordered from any company hands down. The beans arrived shrink wrapped which I always appreciate and when opening the beans the vanilla aroma smells so good.

Hi Linda! Vanilla Beans vary a lot in size so we prefer to weigh our beans to make sure we have the right amount. We recommend 1 oz of beans for every 8oz of alcohol. So for 5oz of alcohol you would need 0.6oz of beans for a single fold extract. For double fold extract you would need 1.2oz. Hope this helps, but let us know if you have any other questions :-)

I’m super excited to try these vanilla beans as I am a new creator of exquisite vanilla, which will be age 12 to 18 months!
My first extract experience!
Welcome Loraine! It’s going to be fun! Let us know if we can help along the way. Happy Extracting!
I’m excited to get started with my vanilla extract for next Christmas.
Hi Susan! Great point, you can absolutely still go with the general rule of 1oz of beans to 8oz of alcohol, this tool is just helpful for those times when you have more or less alcohol or want to try making a double fold extract, or if you want to check your calculations!
What happened the the “rule” of 1oz beans to 8oz alcohol?? Why the change?
This is such a great tool for novice vanilla extract makers! It completely takes the guess work or calculator gymnastics out of the equation!
