This past week I tried 3 new starters - using equal ratios in mason jars.
Buckwheat and water
Buckwheat and water and cabbage leaves
Buckwheat and orange juice.
The two with water spoiled (I neglected them at a fragile stage).
The one with OJ survived the couple of neglect (forgetfulness). The OJ is supposed to give the starter a bit of acidic properties until the yeasts and bacteria take over. I think this worked. The starter has been very active over the past couple of days and I am excited to give it a try!
