Notes

๐ŸŒก๏ธ Temperature control is crucial – too warm and miso ferments too quickly, too cool and fermentation slows dramatically
๐Ÿฅ„ Always use clean utensils when handling miso to prevent contamination and extend shelf life
โฐ The longer the fermentation, the deeper and more complex the flavor – taste periodically to find your preferred maturity
