The first time ever i made soybean tempeh was with this starter, and it was a success! I followed the instructions on the website of Topcultures. Now I will make tempeh from chickpeas and black beans.
I have produced tempeh twice with this starter and it has always turned out well. I did not use vinegar as many suggest, but I soaked the soybeans for 3-4 days.

First try and it worked right away! I simply used cooler packs which i heated in hot water to incubate the tempeh, and changed them a couple of time for the first 10 hours to maintain the temperature. after that the tempeh produced its own heat. after about 30 hours it was done and had developed a pleasant fruity and caramel like aroma. When pan fried, the flavor was like freshly backed bread, roasted nuts and camembert.
Very easy to use! Dehulling the soybeans only took a few minutes. Now I can make my own vegan meat. Next time I will order the 75g package. Thanks for such a wonderfull product!
