Wow, you will have a great time and wonderful learning experience. It won't take ALL the mysteries out but will give you self-assurance coupled with the urge to experiment...as if you didn't have that yet with your "wild yeast mission" quest!

I wish you started a new topic to share your experience after your classes...

No Smile

The Steingarten Treatise on wild yeast is truly hysterical. In the bread section of Nick Malgieri's "How to Bake" he cites Steingarten as his source for things related to wild yeast and sourdough.

I have all of the ingredients assembled. I have "Crust & Crumb" in hand. All I need now is the time. Monday I will have the requisite 7 days in a row, at home, to begin my first wild yeast adventure!

Film @11!

I found that site the other night. All I can say is compare Kyle's FIRST loaf of bread to the one this guy pictures. Who had better oven bang? Who probably had better fermentation going on up to 138 degrees? Kyle's FIRST loaf is better looking than this guy's.

quoted by you earlier: Is it okay to do your procedure in a Mason jar with the top ajar while bubbling?
I just thought you could cover the jar with a double layer of cheesecloth, secured with an elastic band. Then use the cover when you put the jar in the fridge.

Especially if you put your jar outside?

Okay Kimmie:

The feeling I get is if the starter is at room temperature, leave the lid ajar. If refirgerated, then keep tightly closed.

Having no experience with this process (it'll change soon), Tupperware containers still sound good to me.

I don't know from nuthin' but...

Both Frank and Ernest were kept in fairly constant temp (Frank@68F, Ernest@72F) completely closed. Frank with Saran wrap and Enest in a ClikClak container. Submitted FYI.

That's perfect KyleW. I followed same method as you for Ernest.

Actually, Koko and I were talking about hazardous glass jars. I'm not sure I would feel all that comfortable with glass jars.
