Pilot error because I used very cold filtered water from my refrigerator as to why I believe its a tad sluggish so I put in oven with light on as instagram recommends. Its bubbling now so Im thrilled. On my next feed I will make sure water is room temp water or nuke it for 10 seconds. It may be a few more days to activate and bake per the instructions; it says that when its ready it will grow in 3-6 hours. That said, instructions are solid and easy to follow as a newbie. I had a delivery issue with USPS but Joe from customer service (he may be employee or owner I dont know) but immediately resolved the issue, he was fantastic and that alone deserves a 5 star! I have not made my first loaf but will update review soon! I know the starter is great and this will all come down to proofing (bc the last 10 loaves of regulat bread I made it was always my proofing time thats been an issue!). For me, the starter was a head start as I really wanted to make sourdough. I really did not want to make my own starter and fail; that was a huge concern. For me, purchase was no brainer and making this sourdough journey more approachable and less intimidating. 😊 Review: Get one!!! It's wonderful! - I couldn't help but be curious about a long living starter! I decided to go with the oldest one. It shipped promptly, and arrived sooner than expected. It was well packaged. The seal on the jar was intact. When it hissed open I was met with a rich aroma. I got roughly 60 grams of starter and fed it at 1:1:1 with unbleached bread flour. Very quickly I was seeing activity and a healthy rise. There was lots of active bubbling to be seen! The first time around took about 6 hours to peak, give or take. Every 1:1:1 feeding after that had it doubling and then peaking in less than 4 in my warm kitchen. I fed it peak to peak 3 times before I baked with it. The first loaf turned out beautifully! The rise in the dough was quick and consistent. I did have medium rye for 1/6th of the flour and the rest bread flour, all King Arthur Organic Unbleached. The rye does get a faster rise, but this is my usual blend and this rose noticeably faster. The dough smelled heavenly. It did have its own distinct characteristics in smell. It was fascinating to see how this starter behaved in comparison to my previous starter. Even during the long cold proofing my loaf rose a bit more with this strain. Everything looked and felt good. Definitely had a distinct higher performance. I finally got my loaf into the oven. The oven spring on the loaf was very good! The crumb was lovely. Even though I served it before it fully cooled it was still fluffy and light. The bread had delicious and distinct aromatics! This starter certainly has character. I asked the seller about this strains origins and history. They responded quickly with some really interesting information! I was so jazzed to read about it. This strain in particular is in a European Sourdough Museum (Belgium, I believe) . I'm going to look into that museum to see if I can see what details their testing found. Since this strain has some early origin lore in Wales, I had to think of a proper name. Since legends say that's where Merlin came from, I felt I needed to honor that. Since I already have a strain named Sir Lanceloaf (Since I use King Arthur flour mostly) i had to tie it all together. As I watched the starter rising it occurred to me. I named it Excalibread. If you're even the mildest bit curious, or just starting your own Sourdough Journey, I cannot recommend this brand enough. I can't recommend this strain enough! It's a powerful and healthy little starter! I was so pleased with my loaf that I decided to let Sir Lanceloaf take a fridge vacation and I'll be maintaining Excalibread on the counter for the foreseeable future. It was such a great experience all around. So, allow me to be the little desertcart devil on your shoulder, add to cart!!! ## Features - AUTHENTIC SOURDOUGH CULTURES: Discover the true art of sourdough baking with our Living Dough live sourdough starter cultures.
