Should this be kept inside the home or in the garage? How long does a batch typically take to grow? What recipes do you use them in?

we kept ours in the kitchen.. the first batch took a bit longer because we discovered we did not soak it enough. The second batch only took less than a week. Honestly, we didnt eat them, I procrastinated and didn't pick them soon enough and they wilted. As soon as they grow you almost have to eat them.

I grew mine in my kitchen window. It took about 8 days to full maturity. I just pan fry them with butter and garlic.

I think they need some light. Not direct sun light. I keep mine in a corner in the kitchen close to a window. Regarding recipes, I love them in quesadillas. Sauté the mushrooms with a little of butter. Get a tortilla ready with some cheese. Add the mushrooms... enjoy!

I did the exact same as lukywest did. So much fun to watch how fast they grow right before your eyes

I always set aside about 1/4 or 1/2 cup of each batch to seed the next batch. It works fine every time (at one-week intervals). My original culture was a small cup of pure Greek yogurt from a supermarket; be sure to buy a culture you like the taste of.

Put your plants outside....the weather is great right now. That should take care of the fruit flies... The conditions in your house have provided a breeding ground for them. If you have other fruit and/or vegetables in your kitchen, put them in the fridge or get rid of them. and what do you mean by indoor pepper plants? Are these ornamentals? I do not use Safer on food I am going to eat. I use it on my flowering plants. If you want to use SOMEthing, mix up a little Dawn with some water...maybe half a teaspoon to two cups of water and spray with that. But getting your plants outside is more effective. Predatory insects will make short lives of the fruit flies... Put your plants outside....the weather is great right now. That should take care of the fruit flies...

0votes If you have real winters put them inside in pots for the winter. They take months to root. Do not pull them out to check them. Do Not over water or they will rot. I have grown them for years. They are easy to keep. Kept inside and warm mine bloom all year.

I think about room temperature should be fine. These are fungal spores so I imagine they are incredibly resilient to temperature changes.

I would use honey raw is best but any will work. you do need a sweetener to help the starter grow good bacteria. here is my recipe for coconut yogurt. it is the best! and it firms up when it is refrigerated. I have made many batches! my kids love it. this is a double batch for the half gallon Yogourmet maker tub- I have two and the recipe is for both. so u my have to half it or what ever for however big your yogurt maker is. COCONUT YOGURT 10 cans coconut milk-Trader Joe green cans (1gallon) -OR 1 gallon of homemade coconut milk- Heat to 180 keep stirring so you don't burn it Then add while still hot - c honey -6 packs plain gelatin (KNOX) MIX WELL then Cool to room temp- (68-77) When cooled Add- 1 tsp GIPRO Put in yogurt makers for 24 hrs

I think it is for indoor. I keep it in the house most of the time, and sometime on my days off during the day, I put it out under the sun. I have it for several months and still very strong and healthy.

Thanks to everyone that has helped answer this question,You do not have to put it in the fridge, you can if you want for a cooling feel but just keeping it out of direct sunlight is all you need.Have a wonderful week and enjoy the results!

Depends on where and how you store it I suppose. I used it all in one go and this was my first time using it. Looks like Livin the dream had a 2 year keep on there batch. I'm going to go with where and how you store it. Meaning, don't keep it where it can freeze or cook, and keep the lid sealed tight. Hope this helps.

bring the milk up to 185 F then let it cool to room temperature (65-75 F) then add the culture. I use Mason jar and it does take about 24 hour for it to thicken. Refrigerate after that. I keep my home cool at 62-65.

I keep mine in a mason jar. They store very well and last a very long time. I'm probably 2 year in on my first purchase.

Hi! I use it in the early Spring when our home ants begin their annual visit. I look up on GOOGLE for "homemade ant bait recipes." This year, 2014, I used it only once! So effective. I keep it sealed up tight and store it indoors, top of my bedroom closet. Kept this way I think it is good indefinitely. I love this purchase.

I keep mine in the fridge too. I guess you could try freezing a few and see how they turn out. They keep well in the fridge though.

To keep them fresh, I put them in a large zip loc bag and kept them in the cupboard. They are dried so there is no need to refrigerate or anything like that. It took me about 3 months to use all of them up and they remained fresh during that time. I would think they could be used much longer as long you keep them in a sealed storage bag. They won't get moldy or spoiled.

I keep mine in a air-tight container after opening. I generally use them up within a couple weeks after opening. I found these beans to be very fresh and flavorful.

The seeds should be kept in a cool dry place. Unground they last for quiet a bit, once you grind them they should be used within the week. I get the big bag to use for my horses, so refrigeration isn't an option. I keep the bag in a clean garbage can in the garage and use within a few months and never had a problem. 25 lbs goes a long way!**Update**I have been keeping the seeds in an airtight metal container. The last bag I bought was at the beginning of the summer. This past week I ground up the last of it and swept some seeds into the sink. The next day afternoon when I cleaned my drain cover you could see all the seeds had sprouted! I'd say this is a pretty good product and I was storing it well. :) The seeds should be kept in a cool dry place.
