I recently aquired a 250 year old sourdough starter. I have a room temperature active starter and a 200 gram refridgerated backup. Feeding this puppy twice daily is somewhat of a chore, so after I get two or three backups I'm going to experiment with an air dried back up to be freeze dried.

Of course, if there are any bakers interested, I can give a infinite amount of castoff for new stock, but you must be versed with the challenges of sourdough baking.

The plus side is that in order to keep an active starter I discard 500 grams daily, unless I'm baking and the castoff is my leaven.

The other challenge is propagating lacto and aceto in near my brewing yeast...

My mom only feeds hers twice a week, do you think you could vary the schedule so that it isn't like having a pet dog?

Good point about the brewing yeast.....big fun there.

If dont have time to attend it daily you can stick it in the fridge and feed it once a month. In that case you have to do an overnight sponge to bake with it.

ahhh, that's what my mom must be doing, or something close to it.

So, the real question is how is the bread?
