Did you know that the commercial yeast found in stores is only a single strain of yeast, when countless varieties exist in your environment already? Why pay for that manufactured product? Instead, you can have a richer, more diverse culture when you harvest your own yeast from nature. Wild yeast is abundant, easy to cultivate, tasty, and healthy. It lends a terrific flavor to all your baked goods, and may even reduce food sensitivities in people who have trouble tolerating grains and wheat, since it's less refined, unprocessed and loaded with so many different varieties. You might have a friend with a wild yeast starter, in which case, ask for a scoop and begin feeding it! But if you want to start from scratch, Roe Sie, from the King's Roost, teaches you how to catch wild yeast in your own kitchen with a bit of flour and some water (or pineapple juice!) to start your own colony from scratch. It's easy and fun. Visit our shop or website for more DIY projects! http://kingsroost.com

In place of pineapple juice can I use lemon juice

Have you every created yeast from barley, that could be used to distill alcohol, instead of buying yeast?

so, mine was ready in 24hs, at 48hs was huge!!! I live in Brazil, so yeah.... above 30celcius do not wait for 5 days. I lost mine because of that.

Have you ever made a starter with almond flour or coconut flour I am not able to eat regular flours. I am trying to make bread and am curious about the starters.

It should be noted that organic and whole grains work best for making a starter. Non organic grains might not have enough wild yeast due to pesticides, and whole grains have a better chance of having a larger colony of yeast.

Is it normal for it to develop an alcohol smell after a week of feeding? I started it with pineapple juice.

How do I make dried active yeast? Do I just let it dry out or how do I make it into a solid form?

You may make that in 24 hrs. by mixing flour and water with dates at 30 temprature

How do you know how much starter to use when making bread with it? Say the recipe calls for 1 1/2 tablespoons of dry yeast. How much starter would you use instead and would you also still need to add the water that the recipe called for (if it also called for dry yeast)? I've been intrigued about using a starter but never have tried. Have always made my bread from scratch using dry yeast....
Also being as it's winter now, is it still ok to leave the starter out on the counter, even if I tend to leave it rather chilly inside the house and just dress warmer instead of having high elec bills? Do you find the starter goes nasty in the summer time with the higher heat inside the house? Just wondering how the change in temps inside my house would affect my starter that is "brewing"...?

Have a question, could I buy a packet of Active Dry Yeast, hydrate it and just keep feeding that mix in stead of buy new packets? TY :)

Amazing video, how to use the Wild Yeast Starter?

When it starts smelling terrible just run to Wal-Mart and get a box of Monistat and that should take care of the issue.

Can I use bottled water?

Cheers.

Great video! Do you need to use filtered water all the time after the starter is ready? every time you feed it?

I am on day 3 of my starter. Started with 1 cup of flour and 1 cup of water. Today I noticed a liquid in the jar and the mixture smells funky/sour. Familar but can't place where. I heard in your video that the liquid is ok but is the smell? No mold at all and I am removing half the mixture and adding 1/2 cup each of water and flour. Does this sound ok?

I started mine last night, and this morning it has a couple of bubbles. I'm excited.

get a haircut first

is unsweetened apple juice ok to use.

Thanks for a very educational video!

Very clear (no ambiguity), well done. Thanks!
