Description

Vanilla beans are a great way for the adventurous homebrewer to impart a different and unique flavor to their beers.

 
These Bourbon Vanilla Beans from Madagascar are fresh, (unlike the dry beans you typically see in grocery stores) and ready to be used in whatever beer you like.
 
To use, simply slice the bean open lengthwise and add to your Secondary or Keg. Remove when the Vanilla flavor is at the desired strength. 1-2 beans are fine for a slight Vanilla flavor, but some brewers will push the limits and add the third bean. Are you a three-bean-brewer? (This would typically be done in an Oatmeal Stout or a similarly heavy beer.)

It's really weird that a brewing supply shop charges less for vanilla beans than a lot of grocery stores...

approximately how many beans come in a 1/4 lb bag? if 3 beans is $20 then each bean is $6.67. A $170 bag would need 26 to be the same price
Josh on Apr 5, 2019
BEST ANSWER: Hi Joshua - There are approximately 27 beans in a 1/4lb bag.

Moist
Just added my vanilla beans to my secondary. The beans were nice and moist when I split them before adding them to a couple weeks of secondary. Don't know yet what the final result will be, but looking good so far....
