When it’s fermenting you want between 28 and 32 degrees. At the restaurant they use a styrofoam chamber with a heating mat connecting to a thermometer to inkbird. Connects to an app. They also have a humidifier if needed.

Steam barley in oven preferably or boil until chewy cooked.

Add 10grams of koji spore/flour mixture per 1 kilo of barley. Mix thoroughly with gloves.
Step 3
Put into trays with a cloth in bottom and top to retain humidity. Set temperature to 30 degrees.

After the first 12 hours you can start to see the white mold. When you see this, mix again to make sure it’s all incorporated.

Wrap that baby up with the cheesecloth to retain humidity and put it in the warm 30 degree incubator.

The when koji reaches around 30 degrees bc it’s fermenting, you can turn off the heating mat. And try to maintain 30.
