If your well water has a bunch of minerals in it, it will change the 
chemistry of how and how much of the brine your peanuts absorb.  We have 
really hard water so I use distilled water, make a heavy brine using sea 
salt and then boil them for a little while.  I then put the lid on and let 
them soak the rest of the day and overnight.  Seems to do the trick.
