Guest guest Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 You're Welcome, Momcat. I would try a batch with the soaked beans in your present machine, if they'll fit, and see what difference the soaking makes and which milk you like the best. Debbie, I've also tried that trick of pre-soaking and either refrigerating or freezing the beans in a baggie or small container, and found it's handy and generally works really well. You sometimes need to be sure that the beans aren't either soaked too long or kept too long or the milk can too easily separate, depending on how hot your machine cooks the milk in it's cycle. If you've never had any problems, that's a pretty good sign. How long do you usually soak your beans before freezing them? I think the soymilk machines are great. In addition to saving you a lot of money, they give you okara, which you can make burgers or bake with, or just use in a pot of rice or compost with some of your favorite plants. The soymilk machines stop the need to recycle all those cartons and let you have all the milk and yogurt you want, or as little as you want, basically for the price of bulk beans, which can be stored for a fairly long time without any special care.

Guest guest Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 I usually soak them overnight (8-ish hours) or a couple of days in the refrigerator. I've never had any problems with separation. I do confess, though, that I prefer almond milk to soy milk and so rarely make soy milk any more.
