Restarted from frozen powder just to watch it go.
It's awesome. I have a lot of cultures collected over the years and none of them are like this.
Goes like this:
* 1 teaspoon frozen powder into 1 cup thick slurry kept at 95℉
* eight hours elapses.
* 1/2 removed, re-fed fresh flour/water slurry to 1 cup
* eight hours elapses. It foams to the top indicating full on fierce activity
* re-feed slurry 1 cup, now it's two cups in a larger jar
* 4 hours elapses. It foams to the top of the jar indicating its speed is much faster than other cultures.
* re-fed more water and flour and salt to form bread dough, kneaded, formed into a loaf
* rises within a few hours, either bake or ferment to develop sour taste.
waffle
buttered sourdough toast
Scrambled eggs, cheese sauce, sourdough toast
Denver sourdough
The starter is so fast that it's worth the trouble of reactivating for one loaf then shut down the project for next time instead of feeding the culture two or three times a day until it's needed again.
It was fed to one cup slurry to reactivate. It formed liquid on the surface with scant bubbles. It was reduced by half and fed again to one cup. Before eight hours it foamed to the top, already fully active. It was fed again with no reduction to 2 cups. It rose to the top before eight hours. Fed again to form dough. It rose in the pan to the top in just a few hours.
