I have been looking but maybe not hard enough.  I'm looking for a basic starter (my late father use to make one)  His was a basic flour/yeast/water mix then store in fridge for a week then feed but I do not have an idea of amounts to use.


  Can anyone help??  ??? ???

Most folks around here buy (or trade) their starters - but I have seen some make their own - I remember one made using grapes. If you are trying to get away form commercial yeast buying will get you closer to a desired flavor profile since starting from scratch means you get what you get....

Many order from here...
