Since 1990

I was communicating with Carl Griffith via bbs in 1990 on studies on micro organism , and mentioned about my bakings, talking about natural yeast, He then sent me the dry starter, It was the first Carl's starter travelled half the world, and I was his first " client" in Asia

Characteristics

My starter strived in my house for 27 years, i used various flour to feed it. it is very tolerable, even that i have neglected it for long long time in the fridge for more than 6 time, it still comes to life after a few feeds. and used it for my weekly bake in the past 27 years. It does not carry the tanks favour as other sourdough that my family dislike
