Hi,
Good Idea for a group! I just got a bunch of different starters
from Gemcultures.com.
Tried the Tempeh, Quite the task without a grain mill to de-hull
the beans, but it was good, better than store bought for sure.
I made the mistake of stacking two of the bags and they overheated
and did not mold, but instead smelled of ammonia and were slimy.
Anyone try making Tempeh?
I'm curious about the ideal cooking time for the beans and do you
use vinegar? Do you rinse the beans after soaking or cooking?
I will try Natto next, higher incubation temp but no need to de-hull.
Holler back if you have ever tried any of these.
I intend to make a batch of light rice koji for making amazake too.
Seems that it needs to incubate 2 1/2 days, I'll need a thermostat
for my ice chest incubator before I take on that one.
Just the group we need!
Take Care,
