This is the first starter I have tried and it was super easy. I have had this starter going for a couple weeks and it has given me many wonderful loaves of bread (used the San Francisco Sourdough recipe) and looking forward to more. I used part white and part wheat flour.

Awesome starter! I also used this to go with San Francisco Sourdough Bread (this site) and made two large loaves. They turned out beautiful and delicious. I currently have more starter going!!

I have been looking for a good starter for sourdough bread. I have made a couple loaves from this stater and they have tasted absolutely wonderful. I let it sit on the counter a little longer than you recommended but that is because I like truely sour sourdough bread. Thank you for sharing.

It would be impossible to mess this up. This starter is foolproof! I personally think that yeast is overpriced, and although this is just making a strain of the store bought yeast, I'm OK with that because I make so much bread. I have to wait 9 days to use the grape fermented starter so I'm thrilled to find this quick fix for the sourdough lovers at my house.*UPDATE* I just let this starter bubble up overnight and then spent all day baking with it and feeding it and baking some more. It made lovely pancakes, scrumptious bread and I have plenty of starter left in the fridge to make lots more yummies tomorrow! WIN!!

I love the simplisity of this. It smells stronger the longer you leave it. I have to say that I am new to making sourdough.

The starter itself worked out well. I used it to make San Francisco Sourdough Bread from this site and while it wasn't as sour as I would have hoped, it still had a good flavor. I only let mine sit for 48 hours but next time will try to let it sit for up for five days for that extra sour flavor.

The first batch I made with this starter was fine, the next batch tasted a little off (not enough to keep my family from eating it) and it smelled like alcohol. And I didn't even make a third batch because the starter smelled like nail polish remover! I don't think I'll be using this recipe again.

Very easy to make and ferments nicely. I had mine rest at room temp about 36 hours before making my first batch of dough, the dough turned out beautifully. I put the rest in the fridge and plan to make more and continue feeding it. A nice base.* Update, I have continued to make bread from this starter recipe, and I am still loving it, as do the friends and family I made it for. I forgot about it for a while though and now I think I have to start over again, Bummer!
