It was always a dream to do so and I managed to find the time during the countless lockdowns we have had in Melbourne over the last 18 months.
Characteristics
Strong and reliable starter, despite irregular feedings. Very strong fruity and yeast smell. Has a very grainy and cool feel to the touch.

Working method
1
I buy locally source unbleached wholemeal Australian rye flour. This flour is a beautiful dark grey colour.
50% Wholemeal rye flour
2
I combine the rye flour with 50% w/w of warm local tap water by mass. Our tap water is Melbourne is very soft and is sourced from protected forested catchments therefore is very low in residual chlorine.
50% Tap water
3
I occasionally will swap the wholemeal rye flour for unbleached rye flour depending on what is available for purchase.
4
The starter is feed every two to three weeks and is kept in the fridge between feedings.
