How to Use This Calculator
- Select bean type (soybean, chickpea, or black bean) to set the base incubation time.
- Enter ambient temperature in °F and choose your incubator type.
- The calculator shows incubation time in hours, target temperature range, and the hour at which you should check and vent.
- Inoculate cooled beans with tempeh spores, spread to ~2 cm thickness in perforated bags, and incubate at the displayed temperature.
- Vent bags at the indicated check hour to prevent overheating from mycelium metabolism.
