I read somewhere soaking beans sort of starts them fermenting . I never soak . I put in pot and bring to boil for a couple minutes and strain . Then start the cooking . When you see what looks like sewer water when you strain you'll probly start doing it all the time . I find they also have a milder taste and have been told less gas....

Thats what I do to, on my first boil I put about 1/2 cup of salt to a gallon of water, I Strain them, boil them with fresh water and when the foam rises to the top I strain them again. The next time I just cook them, no more straining.
