This was a pretty good, beginner's sourdough starter guide. However, they'll definitely need a little more love if you want that truly unique sour flavor.

I used this in 1999 and still have it today, though it seems to lack on the sour side, but it still rises. I don't take it out of the fridge every day to add anything, at one point it was lost in the back of the fridge, and I just scraped the top off and started using it again. I recently used it for the Perfect Pizza recipe and it turned out just as good as a fresh packet of yeast. I still use it for the Sourdough Waffles, but I use egg replacer, and keep the left over in the fridge.

I found this lacking in flavor. Unfortunately, it takes time, just using flour and water, and replacing half of the starter every day until frothy. The wild yeasts this attracts add much more flavor, although my bread with the above was very good and the crust was marvelous.

its going bananas! This is the fastest sourdough starter! It has jumped straight to the stringy step. Going to have to use it immediately.
