Thanks to @ronott1 for sending me a sourdough starter. Trying to get it going now. The first feeding and no bubbles but a good layer of hootch. Doing a second feeding this morning - hoping for some bubbling action.

Sourdough Starter from RON...will bubble for sure. I have his that has
been bubbling and working SUPER since September 2016. My Genesis works for me at least once a week. Look forward to GREAT Sourdough
Adventure with THE BEST STARTER.

Good morning, everyone.

I’m probably not going to bake today, I’m very sick. I don’t know what it is. It’s a nasty stomach bug.

If I feel better tomorrow, I’m going to bake some French bread.

It is the time of the year. REST and HEAL.

The mold on my yogurt starter, part deux...

I saved two batches of yogurt starter last time, one plain, and one with some honey in it. I last made yogurt about 3 weeks ago, I think. The one with honey had just started to grow fuzz, the plain one was clean.

I made yogurt yesterday, using both (cleaning off the fuzz, and taking out half of the yogurt in the jar). I washed the starter jar in the dishwasher, even though it was already washed and on the shelf. It's half full of plain starter, in the fridge. We'll see if it grows fuzz in the next few weeks.

But man oh man, my yogurt is delicious! SOOOO MUCH BETTER than the stuff in the store.

What I do is use some of the yogurt in the jar I use to start the next batch. Maybe you are getting fuzz because it is in a small jar?

I make new yogurt every two weeks. I need to make more this weekend!

If there is hooch then it bubbled-- likely to fast to see. It will be much better by the third discard and feed.

Make some crumpets of flat bread from the discard!
