I know you can roast and grind acorns, but can you do it when they are green or do you have to do it when they are brown?

I tried them last year and wasn't blown away taste wise...not sure if I oversoaked them maybe? I thought the nutty texture would be great in stuffing mind you. Thead here http://tiny.cc/lfm4l
I earned my cooking badge in scouts many years ago in Florida by making pancakes with them. I collected a small bucket load of them. shelled and crushed them rapped with papertowel ran through several changes of water untill the water ran clear. Then added flour, sugar, egg and milk. The pancakes tasted great but was a lot of work. The flour is not nessasary but helps to make them rise a little. Would be a great way to extend your flour on extended trips.
Have never tried always waited till they started to drop. Allthough the shell was a greenish color when they started dropping.
