Characteristics
It's very resilient. There were a few times I thought it almost died, but it inevitably came back to life within 24 hours. It's also impatient to grow and ferment, won't wait patiently and if I don't manage to feed it at the right time it goes sour on me. But it's also very strong. One or two spoonfuls will lift a big beautiful boule. Oh.. and it smells like apricot jam :)
