Update, 6kg batch of Kome Koji - Incubation time now 26 hours.

It has now been just over 26 hours since I inoculated the 6kg of steamed rice.  There has no been much to report until now.  At 20 hours the Koji have started to produce their own heat and there is a slight aroma of Koji.

With the temperature reaching 39.2°C, I unwrapped the bundle and cooled the Koji to 32.5°C before wrapping it back up and returning to the incubator.


@ 26hrs temperature is starting to climb and reached 39.7°C

Most of the rice grains have visible mould on, which over the next 22 hrs should increase.


All I have left is to check the temperature and get my head down for a few hours.
