I have had this starter for a while now. I stored it in my freezer and got busy so did not get it started until about 6 months later. I hoped that I did not wait too long to get to it.
The instruction card is extremely lovely and makes the process of making the starter incredibly easy. I had once tried to make my own starter a few years back but failed miserably. The instructions I received with the starter made my next attempt successful. Having the starter culture also makes getting it going much faster. A week versus two or more weeks to get a stable and active starter means fewer chances for failure.
The starter creates a distinctly tangy and sour loaf of bread. It is positively beautiful for a sandwich or simply toasted with butter and honey or jam.
I also appreciate having more than enough dried starter to make more, if, fir some reason, this current starter fails. I have established a nice routine now, however, so we are feeding and using the active starter at least once a week and then storing it in the fridge. I have been doing this now for a few months with great success.
I am very loyal to the yemoos starters or cultures and have never had a bad experience with any of the ones I have purchased over the years. The instruction cards are spot on and they even make it fun with the adoption cards.
