7 | Rather than buy yeast I decided to be hardcore and enslave wild yeast |
8 | in a jar. It is actually [[http://www.io.com/~sjohn/sour.htm][pretty damn easy]]. I used the method mentioned |
9 | in the former link, but added a bit of *science* (or--I've kept a beer |
10 | yeast starter before). I used my giant bottle of Iodophor to sanitize |
11 | the jar in which the yeast were to live (just to kill any natives; I |
12 | rinsed the jar afterward with tap water and didn't sanitize any |
13 | utensils), made sure the water used for feeding was at about 90°F, and |
14 | fed the starter a tablespoon of dry malt extract (maltose being to |
15 | yeast what fast food is to a fat American) and a quarter teaspoon of |
16 | lemon juice (just to slightly acidify the initial mix and make the |
17 | yeasties new home a bit more hospitable to only them at first) for the |
18 | first two days. This resulted in a bubbly and happy starter on the |
19 | third day, made interesting bread on the fourth, and was successfully |
20 | cloned for someone else on the fifth! |
21 | |
22 | Just remember to measure the volume of the original mixture and write |
23 | that down so you can easily substitute it into recipes (mine worked |
24 | out to ⅔ cup of starter from ½ cup of flour and water, but flour |
25 | varies in absorbency rabble blah moo etc.). |
