degringoladeTrying to work up a reproducible set of instructions for making tempeh. I suppose that this is a task that I have set for myself to pay a little back to the folks over at the Frugal Fridays. I hope that my scant number of readers takes some value out of the process.
Today's side note on the process has to do with what happens when the inoculum gets going on the cooked beans in the makeshift incubator. When I put the beans/inoculation in the incubator, it needs the 88-degree F. (plus or minus 3F) to get going in a serious way. Yesterday I put the mix in around noon. Today when I woke up and looked, the temp was a hottish 96 F.
So a thing to remember is that once the culture gets going, it creates its own heat if it is in a room temperature setting.
I know, this is boring, but it is what I want to talk about right now. Go somewhere else for meaning.
