  • I noticed the vanilla beans weren’t completely submerged when the extract was poured from the whipping siphon into the bottle. I’ve read that the beans can become moldy unless they’re completely submerged in the liquid. Is this true? I wouldn’t want to ruin a batch of vanilla.

    • Yes that is correct. In the recipe, it states that you can snip them in half or store the whipping siphon on its side so they are fully submerged.

      • Hi Janie,
        I’m referring to the beans that aren’t submerged in the already infused vanilla when it is poured into the 8oz bottle. Also, can I make two cups of vanilla extract in my whipping siphon rather than just one? I don’t know if two N2O chargers will be enough for more than 8oz. Thanks!
