- Mix some water and a flour of your choice together in a bowl ensuring you get much air into the mixture. The #sourdough #culture is an #aerobic process. Make sure the flour you use has nothing but flour in it. An "organic" flour is probably a wise choice.
- Place some sort of screen on top of the bowl that will keep insects out but allow the air to flow through
- Place the bowl outside
- Mix air into it every two or three hours
- Feed it once a day with a spoonful of flour while mixing much air into it
- Do this until you see an active fermentation; you will see bubbles that were not made by mixing it. Sometimes it will be vigorous and will be unmistakable. It might take one day or more. I like to bring mine inside overnight.
- Once you see active fermentation you may keep it inside, in a bowl with a towel over it.
Maintenance: Feed it once a day by placing a spoonful of flour into it. Mix air into it a few times a day, but don't worry if you forget a day or two. This culture can be kept indefinitely. If you must leave it unattended for a number of days, place it into the refrigerator, or put some into a sealed container and place it into the freezer where it will last for a very long time. You may leave it in the refrigerator as long as you wish but it should be fed periodically; perhaps once a week.
