Preparation Stir salt and 1 gallon warm water in a large bowl until salt is dissolved. Let brine cool to room temperature.

Pour remaining brine into a resealable plastic bag; seal and place on beans to submerge. Cover bowl with a clean kitchen towel. Let stand at room temperature until bubbles form around edge of bowl, 4-5 days. Spoon off any foam from surface of brine.
