		<description>Hey Lowrah-- For my garbanzo bean miso I made my own koji (inoculated rice) from aspergillus spores I bought from Gem Cultures:

http://www.gemcultures.com/soy_cultures.htm

But unfortunately my inept rice steaming led to a very wet base and resulted in something between sake and miso. I use it for cooking stir-fried veggies etc. 

For the soybean miso I used pre-made koji bought dry from Berkeley Bowl in Berkley CA. (Can be found in many stores with large Asian sections and in Japantowns.) This batch is much more successful. The miso is now a year old and has a very rich nuanced and delicious flavor. Better than store bought miso. I&#039;ve been using it in small batches as I need it and letting the rest age.  Thanks for your interest!</description>

		<description>New to the website and loving it. My first attempt at miso (not sweet) should be ready for sampling next month (july) sometime. I&#039;ve got one soy and one garbonzo bean batch. I live in Oakland and if you&#039;d like to try the miso I&#039;ll be happy to share but can&#039;t promise it&#039;ll turn out...</description>
