So I've gathered acorns from two quercus nigra about 15 miles apart from each other and have soaked them for over 12 hours and the acorns are now drying. my goal is to make any amount of flour and use it to make a small cake, possibly with blue berries grown near my house. i know i probably should just wait until the experiment is done with to post but I'm kind of hoping for tips or ideas from anyone who may have done this before. I will crack them tomorrow and begin leaching tannins. I'm hoping it'll amount to a cup or so. AFter shelling I will crush them slightly, then put into bucket with water.
if i remember by the time i'm done, i will post results.
