Common sense, Julie. We did all that. Guess it's a miracle that
none of us ever got sick and all are still alive. lol

We made small batches often and ate them right away. Starting a
new batch every 2 days worked quite well. You might be a bean
expert but not so much with bean sprouts. If you want them often,
you start a new batch even before the first batch is ready to
eat.
