MJ,  I think I had better start a new thread.....All About Sour Dough,   making the starter, Storing, feeding, making Sour Dough Bread.  I can only speak from my experience and am not an expert.

MJ I've re and re-read all the sourdough threads and can't find the starter instructions either.

Chookie -  a new thread would be great.

That would be awesome Chookie! I found how to use the starter on your blog, but it took a while as you don't have a search button.

I've just chucked some bread flour and warm filtered water in a jar with some Chux cloth on top and I'm going to keep it in a warm spot inside for a while, because I'm worried that it will be too cold outside this time of year.
A great cook is one who can rustle up a fabulous family meal with some freezer burnt chops, wilted carrots, sprouting potatoes and cabbage that's gone brown on the cut edges.

Thanks, ACW - that would be great!!  I've also searched and I'm beginning to wonder if we've confused the Herman the German Friendship Cake with the sought after starter . . . Really looking forward to that thread, ACW!!  thanks again! :D

MJ,  sounds like you are up and running.  All the cold does is makes it longer to ferment.  In side you will capture different yeast.   There is yeast in the flour also,  so should be OK.

I'm glad I was the only one who couldn't find a Chookie starter.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

Okay, it's outside. Under a table that's protected from dust and muck I hope.

MJ,  if you think that dust will get in,  secure the Chux with a rubber band,
