| 51 | <p class="first">Rather than buy yeast I decided to be hardcore and enslave wild yeast |
| 52 | in a jar. It is actually <a href="http://www.io.com/~sjohn/sour.htm">pretty damn easy</a>. I used the method mentioned |
| 53 | in the former link, but added a bit of <em>science</em> (or—I've kept a beer |
| 54 | yeast starter before). I used my giant bottle of Iodophor to sanitize |
| 55 | the jar in which the yeast were to live (just to kill any natives; I |
| 56 | rinsed the jar afterward with tap water and didn't sanitize any |
| 57 | utensils), made sure the water used for feeding was at about 90°F, and |
| 58 | fed the starter a tablespoon of dry malt extract (maltose being to |
| 59 | yeast what fast food is to a fat American) and a quarter teaspoon of |
| 60 | lemon juice (just to slightly acidify the initial mix and make the |
| 61 | yeasties new home a bit more hospitable to only them at first) for the |
| 62 | first two days. This resulted in a bubbly and happy starter on the |
| 63 | third day, made interesting bread on the fourth, and was successfully |
| 64 | cloned for someone else on the fifth!</p> |
| 65 | |
| 66 | <p>Just remember to measure the volume of the original mixture and write |
| 67 | that down so you can easily substitute it into recipes (mine worked |
| 68 | out to ⅔ cup of starter from ½ cup of flour and water, but flour |
| 69 | varies in absorbency rabble blah moo etc.).</p> |
