I overdid it on the beans, though. I mean, too many of them went into the mix (I add them to the chili). This was careless of me, especially following so closely on the heels of DR John G.'s comments re the kidney beans. I did use kidney beans, and I guess that's what both Skyline and Gold Star use, but I've tried pinto beans and far prefer those. Too many kidney beans, and they take over the flavor and texture. I threw in the whole can of beans, though, and that's just too much. I believe half a can of beans per one can of chili is ideal for my home brew.
