Pickled dill beans - Is this a problem?

We used this approved recipe http://nchfp.uga.edu/how/can_06/dilled_beans.html

It looks like they came out great . . . but I did notice something that I hope isn't a problem.

Some beans are sticking out of the vinegar mixture. Is this okay?

It happens sometimes. Beans left too long for size of jar, air left in jars or boil-over is usual cause. The part above will discolor so just cut it off after opening.

Dave I just measured and found the problem. I left 3/4" headroom! Now what?

Now what? 10 lashes with a dilly bean! :)

Nothing to do about it now. Just trim the darkened ends after opening. Make a margin note for next time to double check.
