Needed a yogurt maker to ferment my soybeans. After a few tries, I finally found what works for me!• Soak soybeans overnight. 12 hours at most.• Steam soybeans in rice cooker 1 hr 30. Make sure to add water if needed. You want the beans to be soft to where they break in half with two fingers, but not mushy.• Put beans in glass bowl and add in spores and mix around real good, be gentle not to break the beans.• Put beans in yogurt container and place towel over opening so it can breathe. I rest my plastic lid over the top to where there is barely a 45 degree angle for its breathing room.• 40C for 20-24hrs.• Store natto in fridge w/ lid to neutralize smell & flavor, for me it’s 2-3 days and then I put it in the freezer.• The more you stir, the more amino acids you release thus it becomes sticker! You want this!! ??I didn’t hardcore sterilize anything either, just made sure things were generally clean.
