What special equipment do I need to make tempeh?

First, you'll need plastic bags, or banana or palm leaves. You'll also need a space that can maintain an 85–91°F temperature for at least 12 hours. Lastly, whatever equipment you use must allow some air exchange to the culturing beans.

What can I use to incubate tempeh?

A large cube-shaped dehydrator; a bread proofer with temp controls; an oven with low temp setting or just the light turned on; cupboard with low-level heat source; low-temp mat (such as for reptiles or sprout seedlings) with towel in between; etc.

What kind of vinegar should I use?

Rice vinegar is traditional, but white distilled is another great choice; you can also use pasteurized apple cider vinegar (not raw).

How do I stop the culturing process?

Since tempeh produces its own heat, it will keep culturing unless you halt the process. There are several ways: refrigerate (keeping cakes separate); plunge in boiling water for 30 seconds, wrap well, and freeze; or bake at 350°F for 20 minutes.

How long does it take to make tempeh?

Generally, it cultures for at least 30 hours. After the first 12 hours or so it should begin generating its own heat, so you can stop incubating it; but continue to check it at 24 hours and again at 36 hours. It often takes a full 48 hours or more.
