Kombuchaorganic ® Certified Organic Live Sourdough Starter - Very Old and Mature - 45 year old Lake District Starter, Bread Starter - 80g supplied for all types of flour with printed instruction

If you new to Sourdough baking this took the stress out of it all for me. Although I thought it was expensive, for me it was worth it. It came in a sealed bag and I followed the instructions, I used Rye flour as its know to rise easier & faster than the white strong wheat. I was worried it was a little thin but once mixed with flour and water it got thicker and on a warm window sill it grew quick within 2 hours it was rising quickly and nice and thick. I have made a variety of cakes from the discard which taste awesome, they bake well and come out well risen. I have made Banana Bread, Carrot Cake up to now and it's only been a week! I have yet to bake bread as I need more time so the weekend I will be up for that challenge and trust I will have a nice sturdy bread. The consistency of the growing starter sourdough is thick and held up well, you can add a variety of different flours to this starter dough, I now have several pots all using different flours like malted & wholemeal also white from that one little sachet. Some are now sleeping in the fridge ready for the big bread bake off LOL!!!Just follow the instructions u cannot go wrong and put in a warm light place and feed daily, if you cannot use daily put it in the fridge to sleep till you need to wake it up :) Im so excited to make bread very soon. Many varieties of bread I can bake including scones, biscuits, pancakes from this one little package, what ever your heart desires 🥰 My hubby is very happy now he sees where his money went LOL!!

I have been struggling with my sourdough starter lately so I needed help. Note, I'm not a sourdough expert. I followed the instructions that came with the delivery and wow, it took just a few hours for the starter to double in size, something I hadn't seen before, I actually had to take some out of the jar to prevent overflowing. I could start baking on the same day I and my bread turned out to be delicious.

This is amazing starter. I received my package and didn’t realise hubby had put in the lounge without tell me. Stayed in the lounge overnight in packaging. The next day I fed according to instructions and within 3 hours it was getting to almost triple. Took of discard and made pancakes receipe including in package and fed again. By the end of the evening had doubled again. First loaf in fridge to be baked later.Picture is the first feeding black line starting level

Worth noting that there is no airtight jar even though one is shown in the photo advertising the product, which arrived in a waterproof envelope. So I ordered a jar which arrived the next day. Then I was able to feed the sourdough starter and I’m pleased to say that it is alive and well producing bubbles beautifully in the warm cupboard housing my heating/hot water boiler.

amazing and speed up the time on my starter i had nad became very active and able to use next day would highly recamend

To be absolutely fair to KOMBUCHAORGANIC I have yet to add culture to bread ingredients and bake a loaf , but I have followed instructions and I am nurturing the culture . I just feel that I have been taken advantage of exposing my naivety , since all that is required is flour & water !

Item arrived one day early👍. Unpacked immediately at 11.00 am approx. on day of delivery and made up starter exactly as per instructions, its now 15.00 hours and its already half way up the jar👍👍!!!Looks excellent with a beautiful sour aroma.Will leave another review when finished first bake.

I got mine yesterday, didn't have time to do anything with it so threw it in the fridge until today. To be honest I'm finding the instructions that came with it a tad problematic. They give you advice on what to do with the starter on an ongoing basis but not actually what to do when you first get it. I.e what and how much flour and water to add etc. I'm a compplete newbie at this and I need ABC instructions.Anyhoo I've seen in comments above how much flour and water some folks have added so I'll go with with that and see what happens
