Tempeh for the first time and it was perfecto!!!!  I started this process on September 20, 2016 and tried it on September 22, 2016.  The only problem I have is that I never enjoyed tempeh in the first place but I will tell you that mine was much better tasting then the store bought.   I purchased the tempeh starter from the internet and used aduki beans in which I love, maybe that's why it tasted much better since the store bought usually uses the soy bean.
