It likes room temperature, perfect temp I know a lot about this. Add a bit more sugar and then let it sit a couple days unless you need to make bread, then use half of it. Yeast + sugar = carbon dioxide and alcohol It’s not dry, right, plenty of water? |

Loads of bread you can make with baking soda and either buttermilk or regular milk with lemon juice(or vinegar...but i do not like the taste it leaves). On your starter....one of the greatest resources when it comes to bread from one of the oldest companies in the USA. [link to www.kingarthurflour.com (secure)] Smokingman |

Let sit for few days until bubbles develop. Now take 1/4 cup of the mixture and add 1/4 cup water, 14 cup flour to it. Let it sit again until it grows and bubbles. It should be ready to use or you can feed it again. You can either throw the other 1/4 cup of starter out or cook with it. When not using store in the refrigerator. Remove from the fridge about once every two weeks or so and go through the process of feeding it again. As above. Hope this helps. |

I'm going to be making some mead or strong ginger beer soon, there is not yeast available in stores. Seeing as your the yeast guru, can u tell me how to culture my wild yeast to make it good for high alcohol content like 7% can I use a regular wild yeast and some will survive up to 7% or do I need to elevate the starter culture alcohol content a few times? |

Depends how much time you have. Wild yeast is a toss up so you might want to grow it in a 7% alcohol to make sure it will. Saccharomyces cerevisiae will grow in over 12% alcohol already, so you may be ok to brew with whatever yeast you have. I’ve made meads up to 18%, brewing yeast. |

Yeast + sugar = carbon dioxide and alcohol It’s not dry, right, plenty of water? It's still got plenty of water. It's probably 80 degrees F right next to the radiator where it's currently residing (the only guaranteed warm spot in the house). Will do on the sugar (unless I get yelled for it in the rest of the comments, haven't scrolled down yet ) I don't know what lies they told you, but I can promise they were lies. There's a fine line between training, trauma, and torture. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 74661623 a dash of milk, sour cream, or even coffee creamer helps a lot. I have acidophilus pills. Think they'd work? I got them as a "good bacteria" substitute for when there's no yogurt. I don't know what lies they told you, but I can promise they were lies.

OK thank you, Is there any way to tell if your starter culture is infected? That's the one thing that always bothered me about home brewing, how do you know your not breeding super bacteria lol. |

[link to www.kingarthurflour.com (secure)] I've been doing baking soda biscuits but I want real bread, and baking soda is finite. Yeast multiplies. Thanks for the link I think it, and most of the sites, are aimed at people pre-quarantine. For example, I probably won't be leaving mine in the fridge. I'm going to be using it too often.
