I've always used the method in the book of tempeh. Whatever tempeh starter you're using should create the same results.

Take some of the tempeh you're making and put it back in the incubator in thin layer in a clean container. Check it every few days until it starts to change color. You'll see when it's ready as it'll be powdery with spores.

Use a boiling water sterilized stainless steel strainer to rub the spore covered surface against. Collect the dust that falls and use that as your starter.
