Default Freezing broad beans in the pod

The message
from Ed ex@directory contains these words:

Broad bean wine? Really? There surely not enuff sugar in em like there
is in fruit or some other crops like parsnips?


Make up starter bottle with yeast and a little honey. Wait until it's
working enthusiastically.

Boil pods - can't remember what weight per gallon of water, strain, add
2½ lbs - 3 lbs sugar per gallon of finished wort, stir till dissolved,
place in demijohn, etc, with airlock.

When cool, add contents of starter bottle.

Makes a pleasant white wine.
