I've never made tempeh, but I've heard it can easily overheat. I read something somewhere about making it in water as a coolant somehow. I also know that it is...
Hi Bruce, Thanks for the link, though I have studied it well ;) I think we (you and I) belong to all of the same groups, a couple of fermenting fools we are...
Mark, I did try a second batch, this time I spaced the bags better and did not stack any. They all turned out great after 24 hours at about 85-90 degrees. It's...
Beau, Thanks for the info. I should try making some. I remember when I eat it, it always seems to digest really well - and that's so rare for me. I would soak...
Hey Mark, I would surely be interested in obtaining some soybeans from you. Do you grow organically? Do you grow the smaller Natto variety? Either way I would...

I posted this to the kimchi group but all I got was disrespect (grin) 1-The frozen natto in oriental stores is a good enough starter. You can add some to the...

Fig, I am the owner of the Kimchi group and I only remember members asking clarifying questions. No one (to my recollection) was disrespectful towards you ...
Hi, I live in a rural area and would have to drive hours to find someplace to buy prepared natto. Does anyone know of a place to mail order natto on-line? ...
... I think Fig was making a sly joke because natto is so... what's the word... "unique".... Most people like or don't mind kimchi, but natto splits the...
