I was blown by a starter that was a 170 or more years old! I received carl from the 1847 Oregon Trail Sourdough Preservation and Society, at carl’s friends.net, and have been maintaining it myself for six years. What started out as a way to feed my family has turned into a small cottage Bakery Because I can’t stop baking!

Características

Since carl is extremely old, he likes a routine and prefers to be fed once a week if kept in the fridge and once a day if kept on the counter. He is very robust and produces lots of bubbles and has a bit of a sulphur smell at its peak. It produces a clearer-ish yellow hooch, and works well when used as a stiffer starter. Have made Lievito Madre with it and it performed well.

Once maintained and starter is active, I tend to eyeball my measurements and play with a little more flour, building strength over several feedings to create a Lievito Madre (extremely stiff starter)
