For legumes (beans), it is better to judge the floaters only after soaking then overnight. (the bean's envelop takes a while to rehydrate sometimes). After a long soak, you will notice that the floaters are very different then the rest. Those, if any, I discard.

I went ahead and discarded the floaters this morning, when I put the beans in to soak. Amongst the floaters were some bits of debris as well.
I just put the heat on under the beans and will let em simmer for the appropriate amount of time. I was thinking of adding some chicken stock if more liquid is needed later on, and, since the beans will be used in a Southwestern Hummus (
Hummus (Humus)) scroll to the recipe, I added a small dried chipotle and de Arbol to the simmering liquid. I sure hope the beans turn out OK ... never done this before.
