I love lambic beers and I'm fascinated by the idea that yeast is everywhere. I was curious what my local yeasts might taste like and was happy to find that making a starter from scratch was so simple. I have a new hobby and a delicious one too.

Charakteristische Eigenschaften

It's still young and hard to tame. It has a lot of lift but can be very sour if fermented too long. Breads have plenty of lift and pancakes a tangy zip. An overnight proof yields a tender crumb.

Rezept

Zutaten für den Starter

  • 40g Tap water
  • 20g Rye flour
  • 20g King arthur all-purpose flour

Zutaten für die Auffrischung

  • 40g Reserved starter
  • 20g Rye flour
  • 20g All-purpose flour
  • 40g Tap water
1
When the starter is ready to be fed, discard all but 40g. This gets rid of the spent flour and keeps the acid load down.
40g Reserved starter
2
Add 20g of each of the flours and 40g of the room-temperature, dechlorinated water. Mix well and let sit covered in a warm place until the next feeding.

Aufarbeitung

1
Let chlorinated tap water sit uncovered on the counter overnight to let the chlorine evaporate.
40g Tap water
2
Rye flour has all kinds of yeasty critters in it. It really kick-starts the starter.
20g Rye flour
3
Cultures adapt to the flours that they are fed so all-purpose flour is added to make sure the starter likes to eat more than just Rye.
