      Tempeh Yeah!

      Super easy project and so delicious. Must try beginner fermenters. I’ve been making Tempeh for years. This starter is perfect every time. I certainly recommend it. I’ve used about every bean and legume there is to produce beautiful tempeh. Nothing beats homemade Tempeh! Dani M.

      Easy and straightforward

      I found the tempeh incredibly easy to make! My house is cold, so I used an oven with the door left ajar and containers of hot water to get the temperature right. It got cold overnight, but my tempeh had enough of a head start that once I got it warmed up again in the AM, it got right back on track and was white and fuzzy in no time! I think I might have even messed up - I put the inoculated beans in a plastic container, about 1-1.5 inches deep, with no holes on the bottom and a cloth to cover it on the top. I had no issues with the beans going bad. So excited and looking forward to making my next batch!
