Kevin
Since 2014
My sourdough was born in May 2016. I have a nephew who has diabetes and he wants to be a baker. I read an article about the lower glycemic index with sourdough, and thought that if I learned enough, maybe I could teach him.
Characteristics
Kevin is extremely healthy! He has a smooth tang that truly shows up in the finished bread.

Following the instructions from King Arthur Flour's website, I mixed equal amounts of whole wheat flour and our well water, left at room temperature and discarded and fed every 12 hours for 2 weeks or so. We live in the country and my room temp was around 80F.
