Best Answer

It is normal for pulses to develop froth when soaked. Note that soaking dissolves lots of molecules contained in the beans. Some recommend to soak and throw out the soaking water in order to remove the oligosaccharides contained in most legumes, because bacteria breaking down these indigestible sugars produce gases as a side product, which is felt as bloating. Soaking also dissolves many of the micro-nutrients contained in the beans, and is adviced against the practice. If the beans are soaked (for shortening of cooking times), the soaked water should be used for cooking. If the eaters experience bloating, the beans should be cooked for a longer time, to give oligosaccharides time to break down under temperature. I would recommend that you soak in the fridge for much shorter period the next time - you don't need any fermentation to take place, so the low temperatures aren't a problem.

What happens if you soak beans for 48 hours?

Do Soaked Beans Go Bad? If your beans are left soaking for too long they begin to ferment. This starts happening around 48 hours at room temperature. If you soak your beans in the refrigerator, it will take three or four days before fermentation begins.

How long can soaked beans sit out?

At room temperature, you can soak beans for up to 48 hours, and in the refrigerator, you can soak them for up to 4 days.

How long are soaked beans good for?

Once you have soaked your beans, if you desire to store them without the soaking water then just simply drain the water from the beans and thoroughly dry them. Once they are dry, pop them in an airtight container and store this in the refrigerator. These beans, if stored correctly, will last for about 4 to 5 days.

Do beans have to be refrigerated while soaking?

If you're soaking them overnight out of convenience, cover the container and put it in the refrigerator. While it is not necessary to put the beans in the refrigerator for shorter soaks, the refrigeration prevents the beans from fermenting or growing sprouts overnight.

Answer 2

Soaking beans in water releases their oligosaccharides, which are then further broken down into simple sugars. Without knowing more about your cooking environment, I suspect naturally occurring and airborne yeast began the fermentation process. Unfortunately for you, the carbohydrate to protein ratio is too low to make a proper whiskey.

The real question is: did you cook your beans in the same water used for soaking?
