Working with a new flour

[Richard Chrz]

Well, pretty good first run on my new starter. I bought a really cheap flour in bulk, and fed it, ignored it, worked it through various temps, hydration levels, etc.. finally thought I may have an understanding of this starter.

1000 g bread flour Dakota Mill
25% levain
68% hydration
2% salt

that looks so good. my mom and a group of extended family members used to have a sourdough starter that was really, really old and was passed around family to family over the years. i'm not sure where it ended up but i do recall eating some great homemade sourdough bread when I was a kid!

It looks a little off to me. Whip up a couple more loaves and send them to me via UPS. We are close enough that they won't take more than a day, two at the most to arrive. Once I get them, I will do a full inspection and analysis of their quality. As a courtesy, I will provide you with a detailed report free of charge. This is a limited time offer! SO ACT NOW!
