Re: Traditional Way to Make Tempeh

[Guest guest]

Hi Ross,

<>Before you are run out of the tempeh spores or starter, please read

Rice-Grown Rhizopus oligosporus in the Links of this group. Then you

can propagate your tempeh starter. <>

To hull the soybeans, I do not simply soak it over-night but boil it for

an hour. It makes hulling easier. I don't hull the beans one by one

because I don't have that patience. I rub them between my hand-palms, as

well as squeeze them with both hands. To get rid of the hull, I simply

pour the water out of the bucket and rinse the beans several times. <>

Regards,

Haliman

Hi Haliman,

I tried to access the Rhizopus file but it appears that you

uploaded it to the " clipboard " in the links section? It can't be

opened.

Could you please try to load it to the " Files " section. There are a

few of us here that have been trying to figure out the best way to

propagate our spore supply.

Thanks,

Beau

BTW, if you have'nt seen them yet, there are some good pics in the

photos section under Tempeh.., showing a water-bath tempeh incubator

using a cooler (ice-chest), aquarium heater and air pump, plus a few

other simple parts.

I made one like this and it works very well.

Hi Beau,

Just now I re-uploaded in Links. I successfully up-loaded it

yesterday, and it disappeared this morning.
