Posted - Jan 28 2008 : 7:15:17 PM I got my starter from www.carlsfriends.org which is a great site for all things sourdough. If you check out the online brochure, about half way down it tells how to dry starter.
The starter I have isn't particularly sour, though it could have changed in the time I've had it (I heard cultures can do that). However, I stopped baking bread for about 6 months and so I followed the instructions on the above site and dried some. It came through with flying colors :)
I'll make a starter tonight and dry some for swapping. My goal right now is to dry a little bit from every batch I make, and mix it all the batches together in a baby food jar to make sure I've got plenty of viable yeasties from different batches.

Posted - Jan 28 2008 : 5:42:44 PM Hey gals! I have a family sourdough that i've had for almost 20 years. I trace the history of it back only 40 years. I would love to share and to receive new ones.
A couple of years ago I had a post "35 year old sourdough" and I offered it up for the taking. At the time I didn't know about dehydrating it and I was sending it in liquid form. By the time it got to some of the farmgirls it was a mess! Then I learned how to dry it. GREAT SUPER!!!

Posted - Jan 28 2008 : 10:08:02 AM I'd love to swap! I don't have mine dried - that is such a good idea! I have found myself without useable starter before and it would be good to have it "just in case"!

Posted - Jan 26 2008 : 9:24:23 PM I got a starter of the Oregon Trail sourdough, have had it about a year and periodically dry and save a bit for "just in case." I'd love to trade for a different variety, if you're up for a swap :)

Posted - Jan 25 2008 : 10:37:30 AM Debi, if it has yeast and sugar, it's more likely the friendship starter type, sourdough has neither. Ronna |

Posted - Jan 24 2008 : 5:58:16 PM Susan, Send me your address privately and I'll send you some of mine. Somewhere (think the kitchen section) there's a discussion a year or so back when I send some to a few farmgirls. Ronna |
