I don't think you even have to soak the beans if you cook it in a crockpot. Just add as much water as you want and cook it for as long as it takes. 6 hours should be plenty. I was going to cook some beans in a pressure cooker but just used a plain old pot. I don't remember how long it took or how much water was added. Those things just don't seem to be that important.
