Can uncooked pinto beans turn sour? I so, how do you tell? I soaked m beans for about 17 hours then cooked them for three. Will they taste bad if they are sour?
 
If you started with dry beans, they should not go sour. I've never heard of that's happening. Did you taste them after cooking them?
 
all I can think of is that some airborne yeast spores may have settled in your beans and started some fermentation---beans have sugar in them and that's all you really need plus a "food" source---throw them out and start over----do the quick cook method--add water until it's at least 1.5 inches over the beans, bring to a boil, turn off, move pot to another burner and let set for 1 hour. Then pour off the water, add fresh water, broth, etc., and then cook as normal.
 
yeah.. when sitting that long it should be cold water and the refrigerator.. otherwise.. there is the chance... I would taste them and if they taste okay go with it.. if not.. do over..
