Ferment Yourself Some Food!: Making Sourgough Starter

Step 3Giving your mix some love...

Giving your mix some love...
Stir your mixture at least once a day when it comes to mind as you wait for the wild airborne yeast to find its way into your jar. The more you agitate the stuff, the more exposure it has to the yeast that will transform it. I've been stirring about 4 times a day (this is probably excessive).

It takes 3-4 days, maybe more depending on the state of your ecosystem, for the yeast to become active.

When the mix becomes active it will start to bubble- that means the mix is fermenting.

If you're tired of waiting for some action, you can add a pinch of yeast; some think of this as cheating however and I plan to avoid it for as long as possible.
