I have maintained a starter, not specifically sourdough, but it ends up sour anyway. Equal parts flour and water, add a pinch of yeast, let it rise a couple hours or so at room temp. Most recipes use the whole starter, but it you make extra and store it in the fridge, you can add flour and wat

I started the starter with Red Star yeast, and let it go wild from there. I needed surefire repeatability, so having some Red Star in it was a good thing for me. Now to brew real cider, no yeast is needed, Just press the juice out of apples that have been picked or have not been in contact w

Oh, YES! We have a starter that is over a year old now - all "natural" yeast. We use it for about half the bread, and commercial yeast for the other half. How "natural/wild" the yeast in the starter is is debatable, since we'd baked bread with commercial yeast in the house for five years previousl
