5.0 out of 5 stars Worked great for me
Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2024
The tempeh starter was delivered as a hard “brick” because it was vacuum packed. Once the package was opened, the product was consistent, fine granules that appeared to be good quality. I have used another starter - the one that comes in 4 little packets with instructions. This starter seemed to work better/quicker for me. It made perfect tempeh. Expiration date of 1/2025 was clearly marked on the package front. No instructions. I used approximately 3/4 tsp starter (plus 1/2 tbsp white vinegar) for 1 cup cooked beans. This may have been more starter than needed because it worked so quickly. I am a beginner tempeh maker, but there seems to be multiple reasons why someone’s tempeh may fail… beans too wet, too hot, or not the right environment. I make tempeh in my food dehydrator set at the lowest setting 95 degrees (furthest away from heating fan). I place the beans in a freezer zip lock bag, and then use a toothpick to poke holes eatery inch front and back. Total time in dehydrator is approximately 48 hours. I recommend trying this product. Good quality. Good value. Plenty of starter for an entire year!

"The Wira brand worked well for me.
I used it my first time making tempeh.
I made Black bean tempeh using an imstantpot.
The fermentation of the cakes completed between 27-32.5 hours,
which is at the lower end of the typical time range.

No instructions for amount of starter to use are provided,
but that information is found in recipes and the starter amounts
suggested are quite similar throughout.
For myself I used a ratio of 3 grams starter per 1 cup (140 g) of dry black beans.
Also, I used a 1 Tbsp. of vinegar per 1 cup of dry black beans.

I chose this brand because it is economical and it does have good repute.
I'm glad I chose it and will be able to sustainably make Tempeh."

I tried it once and it didn't work, so I almost gave up. Then I thought, maybe the temperature was too high and it caused the fermentation to fail, so I tried to adjust the fermentation temperature and tried it a second time, and it worked!

Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2024
I was so eager to try this. The bag has no instruction on how much it would apply for a bag. I tried 3 times with soybean, red bean, chickpea and none of them gave me anything. I put them into the oven with only light on and the temperature is about 37. After 3 days they all turned into black and at this moment I do not even have any desire to even try. I have some vinegar mixed with the cooked beans and that is why there is no mold whatsoever.

i am so jealous of other successful buys whose photos made me cry. Wont buy it again as I tried 3 times and there is no instruction of how much I should apply to them so I did put a lot of the powder in the bag and hopefu they will grow in two days. When things have no instructions you got to suspect how it worked for others.

First time making tempeh and this product was a success! Impressed and very pleased.

I used great northern beans as a trial batch. Cooked them in the instant pot, cooled and dried them, added vinegar then starter. Placed a small batch in two stacked glass containers (less than 1 inch thick for each). Incubated in the instant pot on ‘less yogurt’ setting. Was likely done after 36 hrs but removed at about 42hrs due to schedule. Beautiful thick snowy white mycelium all through the cake - top and bottom. Sautéed as I do with store bought tempeh and it tasted yummy (a bit different due to different beans)!

I’m so happy to have a success with my first batch!

Placed starter in a freezer bag and will store in the freezer as suggested on a few websites. Should be good for 12 months that way.

I've made 6 loaves of tempeh so far both soy and a mix of soy and chickpeas. All have fermented and fuzzed up properly and have been fully matted and ready within 24 hours. Bag is hug and should last at least a year even with me making batches once or twice a week.

This product tempeh worked extremely well. As people have stated before, it is delivered as a brick and once cut open it becomes a loose powder. There is plenty of starter that will probably make over 360 lbs of tempeh! Once I finish this batch I will definitely order again.
