I was searching EVERYWHERE for this when I was going to revive my starter. I used this instead when I couldn't find it: http://carlsfriends.net/revive.txt
I still have extra, dried starter left over lol

I got my current starter from carl's friends

Just starting with sourdough.....all this you guys just covered....
sounds complicated to me. Please make it SIMPLER for people like
me...and who knows I may be the only simple sourdough baker here.
ha ha I know my YEAST baking...but not sourdough...yet to learn.

And I love all I have read about the Pita pintas. A breed I am so interested to explore and have some day SOON. Aria

funny you were answered so I will just say Hi on the dough but I put the pinta on my wish list now may have to order a few chicks from Ron in the spring or if I have a silkie broody I can hatch them ala natural

Is anyone baking anything special for Halloween?

nothing special took Son out for his birthday 34 now he and I did the financing for the house together both being low income got a better deal left my BF off so the money monger kid couldn't get it later

I still argue that by the time a starter you order off the internet ever arrives in the mail, you will already have your own starter going at room temperature somewhere on the countertop. If you can ferment chickenfeed try it as it is the same exact process. If you want to speed things along make sure your water is moved over to the slightly acidic side of things with lemon, lime, or ACV.

Edit- I will give the sponge thing a go sometime. In the past I just let my sourdoughs rise in the fridge.

Starter like that usually will not raise bread without adding commercial yeast for 6 months. Many have trouble getting wild yeast to start.

You must have very powerful wild yeast at your place!

I have not once used any additional leavening agents just recognize a slow rise when I see one and let it do its own thing in its own time in the fridge.

How long do you wait? I've used just sourdough starter and left it for close to 12 hours without a rise... Are we talking 4 hours? 2 days?
