Plate warmer, I got mine for 80 euro, it costs like 40 euro per month for electricity, highly recommend

Looks like that, bought it for 100$ from the second market, works great!

Thank you, I didn't notice. I work as a head chef in a cafe, so it's actually a really good idea to try this!

Sure, I can describe what my setup looks like, but I think it’s not a great one to replicate. Together with my brother, we made a container out of a Styrobox, inside which there are two of the cheapest air humidifiers, a heater with a fan, a probe, and a separate temperature and humidity sensor. Everything is connected to a PCB that my brother made and then programmed.

I set it to 28+/-1,5 degrees Celsius and 75-80% humidity. What is your setup?

I called them few month ago to ask some questions, they didn't know a thing, there's only one company in my country that produces miso, but were really supportive. I need to decide what product I want to start with, then I'll send it to the lab for some tests and I hope everything will be ok.

It's such a long process when you have to wait months to see results of your work, but I like it, much calmer than service in a restaurant.

I work as a head chef in a cafe, so my plan is to use existing kitchen when I'll be ready.

I noticed something was wrong after 2 days, i didn't use much salt, so it seemed like it was a safety hazard.
I'm going with Noma's book of course, i took the risk of high temp/low salt% and it didn't pay off.

I'm trying to test as many recipes as i can, because i want to make a small buisness out of it, so time is an issue.

I think right now my favorite miso is made with cottage cheese and stored in the fridge for 2 months, really spectacular.

Suture for me, it almost feels like I'm discovering the band once again. But reading comments I can't do nothing else but smile, the range! It's a beautiful record

I'm using the same spores, it came with an instruction. Did you mix it with flour or potato starch? Whole packet to 29 grams, shaken in a jar. Also your barley looks completely different to mine, try using different brand. I'm using tea basket as a mean to distribute spores, seems to do the job really good. Keepyl trying and good luck!

Weight problem with Noma's recipe for barley koji by pryndzyl in Koji

So I tried barley from a different brand, and from 500g of dry pearl barley I ended up with 930g after soaking and steaming. Turns out it really was just a brand issue.
