A recent topic here last December, after the Article from South American
popped up. You can search the archives for it but here is the short version
of it:

I cannot find a method to do Nat. Fermentation either, one cook forum said
don't try, go buy Asian Fermented Beans ( black Beans , I believe), it
smells better than making them.
A Colin Leakey,( really his name) has a patent on a gasless bean that is
supposed to be available soon.,

If you do find a method, please post it.
