I like sourdough.

Characteristics

VERY active. During Covid, it sat, untouched in the frig for about 3 years. It reactivated immediately and is doing just fine. It has a very acetonish flavor, even when freshly fed.

Where the starter was created is not where it lives. It's now on the west coast of the United States.
