These beans had very few clinkers after washing. Rinse and sort, then soak overnight (do only one batch at a time). Next day, simmer (SIMMER) for 2-4 hours. Let cool and then put into a container that will easily let you change the water. Change the water EVERY DAY for 14 days. NO KIDDING!!! Every day for two weeks. The last day, add about 1/4 cup of salt for every gallon of beans. Let sit overnight and taste. If too salty, change the water and replace with less salt. If not salty enough, add a little more salt. These bean are so much better than the already prepared ones I can get in the grocery for $4.00/6oz. Well worth the effort. Put a couple of handsful in a bowl and get yourself a beer.***************************Update: I tried a new preparation method this time. Instead of simmering the beans for 2-4 hours, I boiled them for about 20 minutes. A little research revealed that the boiling is to sterilize the beans rather than cook them. Once cool, the rest of the instructions above may be followed. I preferred them done this way rather than simmering them for hours.And yes, I keep them refrigerated while soaking for two weeks. The finished beans adjust quickly to match the salt lever of the brine, so I leave the salt until the beans are done soaking. This also lets me more accurately gauge their bitterness during the final stages of soaking.  Read Less
