I wish people would actually do their research!! Vanilla actually takes 12 to 24 months to extract and actually be a good decent extract for baking and such! Why is people feel the need to tell people that 4to 6 weeks will give them a good vanilla? That only gives you vanilla flavored vodka. Before you post you should actually have a really good base. This suggestion is BS! I make my own vanilla and have been rather educated on it. I have done my research. If someone is going to spend money on an ounce of beans they need to know they aren't going to have vanilla in 4 to 6 weeks.

Grade B vanilla beans are for extract, not grade A. Grade A have a higher water content.
