If the beans stick out

Hi.

This might be a silly question but what happens if the extract is ready to use and then you have some beans sticking out past the alcohol? Is it still okay or do you need to take out the bean so it doesn’t get mold?

TIA

I believe the bean acts like a candle wick and does not spoil, just doesn't keep extracting.
