Pinto Beans

[Coriverrat]

I live in dry land bean farm country. Has anyone tried to convert pinto beans? They are full of starch and should break down. Just curious.

not as much as you thank...their only about 7% carbs

I will cook some up and use malted barley to break it down. Maybe 10 lbs beans, two lbs of barley, 6 gals. of water, and some whiskey yeast with AG. I'll post what I get. Recommendations please.

from my calculations,,10 lb of beans with starch converted will give you about 11 oz of sugar..beans as food, is high in fiber and 30% protein .
that makes for the "meat substitute"
