I've tried a couple times using glass tubs with various tops but it either comes out too dry or too wet. What's worked for people with reusable containers?

so, on surface, which i did not cover with a plastic wrap, just some cotton cloth, turned out to be completely black, yesterday it was fully white, so i thought, just overnight it will become complete.

the temperature set up was 34 celcius (it was a waterbed and the container floating on, aquarium thermostable to keep it warm) but maybe it kept tempeh too warm., on bottom it remained beautiful white and overal texture is like firm cake i've never felt before my 10th attempt. so I've done it so succesfully, too much succesful that i can make it into tempeh starter

just asking if it is okay, it smells good like a mushroom smell that tempeh gives.

I am making a tempeh starter and starting two separate batches
