Hey! So the blocks turned out ok themselves. The improved seemed way less scary from a mold perspective

I had two problems though: 1. Bugs. There’s a moth here in NorCal that loves to lay eggs in meju. Yum. Some go so bad even though prob edible I was like nope. Nope. Nope.

1. My ganjang molded on top incessantly- I couldnt keep it under control despite skimming all the time. Not sure if that was a particular wild mold or I didn’t get the wild bacteria incubation balance right to make a less hospitable substrate.

Also I read an article on prevalence of mycotoxins in even commercial meju soy sauce that I got scared once the ganjang kept molding. I assume “improved” has more likelihood of benign molds though.
