How do you incubate tempeh in the dehydrator without drying it out?
I have an Excalibur dehydrator (cube shape). I placed the tempeh in a ziplock bag with holes punched every 1/2" with an awl. The holes are about 1-2 mm.
I have a thermometer in the beans that reads a consistent 88°F. Air temp has been consistent at 90-92°F.
I have a cup of water on the floor of the dehydrator to try to increase humidity.
It's been 20 hours, and I see no mycelium growing, so I am wondering if the beans have dried out too much. Thank you!
