THis was a very sweet starter. I tried three different recipes using this starter and all of them were too sugary. I will also be trying a starter that calls for MUCH less sugar.

The starter smells wonderful, but when it came to making the bread, it came out quite bland. Made the apartment building smell like a brewery, but is a nice smell. Not sure if I did something wrong with the starter, or if I just need to add some fresh sugar to the bread recipe.

Fiance and I thought this was ok. It is a VERY SWEET starter and not what I expected. Would probably be good for pancakes, sweet rolls, etc but I can't imagine making a sourdough bread with this starter. I used one cup and threw the rest out. I am going to try again with a starter that doesn't need so much sugar.

HERMAN STARTER---On the fifth day of dividing the starter I chose to make pancakes with the discarded starter. Wow! I was really impressed with the pancakes. Never have I eaten such delicious sweet sourdough pancakes. I have used other soughdough starters in making pancakes but I have never been able to produce such light and airy pancakes. These pancakes were brimming with flavor and are delicious eaten cold, with butter and jam. I don't like left over pancakes normally I discard them but Herman's pancakes can be eaten cold or plain with or without syrup, butter and jam. I'm really pleased with the Herman starter. NOTE---Herman sweet sourdough starter can be used for baking any time after the 5th day. It's not necessary to wait 15 days. Start using it after the 5th day. This starter is a keeper.

Sourdough starters are a lot of work, but the results are well worth the wait. This recipe makes such a thick and creamy starter. My family is very excited every 10 days when I get to whip up a batch of fresh sourdough bread. My starter isn't even very mature yet, I think I started it about 2 months ago, and every time I use it, it gets better and better. Try this starter with the San Francisco Sourdough recipe on this website. The combination is to die for!

What a pain this recipe was. On the 15th day I felt like I needed to bake as many sourdough things as possible before the window closed for another week and a half. There are starters that are ready to use anytime after they've fermented. I think I'll stick to one of those.

Great for home made bread, you can just put it in the freg. and make bread when needed. Also it makes a great looking bread.

Herman is the best! I have used it in all sorts of recipes and am so glad to keep the old fashioned starter alive. Herman Cake made great gifts for friends.

I love the recipe and adapted a recipe to make raisin bread in my bread oven with it.

My 7 year old likes to feed it for me! This is my first "starter" but I've had no problems and everyone likes the breads I'm making.
