Slavery</h3>

<p class="first">Rather than buy yeast I decided to be hardcore and enslave wild yeast
in a jar. It is actually <a href="http://www.io.com/~sjohn/sour.htm">pretty damn easy</a>. I used the method mentioned
in the former link, but added a bit of <em>science</em> (or&mdash;I've kept a beer
yeast starter before). I used my giant bottle of Iodophor to sanitize
the jar in which the yeast were to live (just to kill any natives; I
rinsed the jar afterward with tap water and didn't sanitize any
utensils), made sure the water used for feeding was at about 90°F, and
fed the starter a tablespoon of dry malt extract (maltose being to
yeast what fast food is to a fat American) and a quarter teaspoon of
lemon juice (just to slightly acidify the initial mix and make the
yeasties new home a bit more hospitable to only them at first) for the
first two days. This resulted in a bubbly and happy starter on the
third day, made interesting bread on the fourth, and was successfully
cloned for someone else on the fifth!</p>

<p>Just remember to measure the volume of the original mixture and write
that down so you can easily substitute it into recipes (mine worked
out to ⅔ cup of starter from ½ cup of flour and water, but flour
varies in absorbency rabble blah moo etc.).</p>
