This is a delicious starter that makes a beautiful crust and isn't too sour. The mild flavor makes it perfect for everyday loaves or dessert breads. In our experience, it's not as tolerant as the Wales starter, so it may be best suited for someone with a bit of sourdough experience or at least willing to baby it a little. :) It is very resilient, however, and bubbles nicely after feedings. It also does well in the fridge for weeks if you need to pause for awhile. Yum!
