So, I tried to make mungbean tofu, but when I added a curdling agent (vinegar) it thickened it instead of separating it. Now instead of having a block of tofu I have a very sour and thick soup. What did I do wrong?

and can I save it?

Actually Gypsum (calcium sulfate) works much better for making tofu than vinegar or lemon juice. You can buy it at homebrew stores.

Having said that, to save this batch you may need to add more vinegar. What temperature was it when you added the vinegar?

You're an idiot

Thanks for the tip. I'll check it out. The batch was between 60-70 degrees C, so a bit above 150 F. I tried adding more vinegar but it didn't help :/

W-why?

I don't know how thick it appears, of course, but if it has any clumping you might be able to run it through the cheese cloth to see if you get anything. If not, I don't know how to salvage it, plus it's not going to taste very good if you can taste the vinegar.

Try gypsum, that's what I use and never have problems. Also it's tasteless.

where do you think the expression got its origins from?

Foodgrade gypsum (calcium sulfate) is used in brewing to change water profile and in making tofu as a coagulant, numbnuts. For example, Burton-on-Trent water used to brew Bass Pale Ale contains a high quantity of calcium sulfate. If I wanted to attempt to duplicate it I would need to add gypsum among other things.

But, by all means, take a big bite out of your wallboard.

Didn't know it wasnt just used for making plaster at a kiln or magma kiln.
