A brief note on costs:
A recent batch was made with 22 oz dry roasted soybean halves; 3.7 oz pearled barley and 8 grams of culture. We ended up with 3.5 lb. for the whole slab and when we cut it with a pizza cutter into 3" x 3" patties (15) we had 12.25 oz of trim left over for making grated tempeh.
The average weight of these patties was 2.933 oz each - lets call it 3 oz.
So lets call our costs: $ 7.18 -- and that means we got an extra 2.5 lb. (or saved $ 17.95 )
