I am trying to capture the wild yeast!
I am on day 3 of the process. I hope I get a good strain!
Day 1:
mix 1/2 cup lukewarm water and 3/4 cup whole-rye flour in non-reactive bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let stand 2 days.
Day 3:
mix 2/3 cup unbleached all purpose flour into the first starter forming a firm dough, and transfer to clean non-reactive container, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and let ferment for 1 or 2 days. When it is very sticky and riddled with tiny bubbles, it is ready to refresh.
I just checked this evening, and it looks like it is ready to refresh even though I am not on day 4 yet, so I have refreshed it.
I took a clean glass mixing bowl, and out in 3 tablespoons of lukewarm water, measured out 1/4 cup of the starter, and dissolved it in the water. Then I added 2/3 cup of unbleached bread flour, and made a very firm dough. Covered it in plastic, and will wait another day or two to see when it is ready to refresh again.
