Sourdough feeder flour

[KAMarks]

Does it matter what type of flour I use to feed my sourdough culture? I have purchased Italian starters from sourdo.com
Thanks

any white flour will do, just avoid bromated.

Ka, i have had very good results feeding with the same flour that i'm using in my recipe. start there and then you can "play" after you get comfortable using your starter.  I recently started feeding my starter with 75% white and 25% stone ground whole wheat and i really like the flavor profile.
Have you fed it yet or have you just gotten your culture?

Just received my culture and have not yet activated.

Have you decided on a flour/water ratio to feed the culture?  Alot of people prefer a more liquid starter using a higher ratio of water to flour.  I use equal parts flour to water which gives me a "tighter" starter.

Feeding with bread flour at 50/50 ratio by weight. I made a proof box which was a little on the hot side (90 degrees). Man did that sourdo.com take off. very active culture in 48 hours.
clean smelling.

Ken,

I'd like to know more about your new oven. As you can see by my avatar, I've got BIG plans.
