Since 2020

I wondered about yeast and where it comes from. I researched how it is obtained and decided I would rather make use of wild yeast and see how it affects my baking.

Characteristics

I have not baked with it yet but it is very active at every feeding, doubling in size within a couple of hours. It remains bubbly and grows slowly in the fridge.
