I ordered some and received it a couple of weeks ago. My instructions were very different and it didn't include the pamphlet with all the recipes. I am struggling to get it super active and happy. It has some activity but not as much as the starter that I began 8 months ago. I will try the recommendations from your letter. Such as adding potato, milk, sugar or vinegar. I did not know that could help revive it when its sickly 😁

I heard about this Oregon Trail sourdough starter & your video is the first one to come up in my search, so thank you very much!

I had mine going for a long time I do mine the way that would drive people nuts I feed mine wait 24 hours then stick in the fridge then forget it for months I stir the alcohol back in when I take it out after it gets to room temperature I feed it wait another 24 hours then use it I sterilize the jar while keeping it in a bowl then put the extra back in the jar and back it goes once in awhile when I do use it if it’s not as bubbly I add the cider vinegar but I love carls sourdough

Maybe this is a dumb question but is potato water just water that had potatoes cooked in it?

That history got me even more excited about this, how cool! Can’t wait to see a video with how it turns out! :) 🙌

Sourdough is a fun adventure. It takes some practice but it’s worth it. I appreciate you reading the info page, it had some tips I hadn’t heard and some I had forgotten. I can’t wait to see how it goes for you.

I’m glad you liked the reading parts. I’m very much looking forward to getting this started soon!

really cool that the original yeast colony started back then but the yeast today from it has nothing to do with the original as in just four to five feedings the yeast is entirely different due to the new yeast from the flours you use and as well as the sporadic wild yeast in your area. Kinda col though.

I immidiately thought about ship of Theseus, i'd be interested for someone to do actual lab analisys of this starter to determine whether the yeast is still genetically consinstent with the strains they would use in 1847.

Yeah I figured it would change to whatever I’m feeding it but agreed that’s it’s pretty next regardless!

@@spencers-adventures oh absolutely, having a colony survive continuously for that long is very impressive nonetheless!

those instructions are historical (ie. wrong). the web site has something simpler.

It's a lot of work, and cost, I am sure, providing this to people. I think it would be a great kindness, if you can, to provide a donation of $5, or $10 for a great sourdough starter. I got some in 4 years ago and it took right off. If you keep feeding it before it's able to eat it's meal then all you are doing is diluting the mixture. Mind your temperature, and let the wild culture work!
