Goldrush Sourdough Starter Product 0.5 Oz Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Goldrush Sourdough starter product is the Grand-daddy of Sourdough Starters. With the San Francisco strain of Sourdough starter yeast to back it up for authenticity this starter works every time. I recommend you begin by memorizing the two pages of instructions that come with the Starter and follow them explicitly. It is a multi-step process with NO SHORTCUTS. So don't get creative, the instructions are law.
"Goldrush" offers a companion book on Sourdough baking called, "Adventures in Sourdough baking" that will if read a few times make an expert of even the most paranoid novice. The success or failure of Sourdough baking is in the care and feeding of your starter/mother and the instructions or the book go into great detail on how to do exactly this. I (and the book) recommended the purchase of three new (and clean!)two quart containers. They will help you juggle the growing yeast cultures. About the time you think you have killed your "Mother" the book will describe what is going on. This is not one of those pretty things you make. Yeast culturing is part science and part art. So don't panic when it smells like beer, because it is pretty close. You will be successful. Remember to use the refrigerator to store your starter and follow the instructions!
As an aside I have struggled for years to "proof" yeasts and properly raise breads and have failed miserably, Goldrush offers a design for a proof box, that while simple works very well and a tip... use a 7.5 watt bulb instead of a 15.
Short of getting on an airplane, flying to San Francisco and returning with your obligatory souvenir loaf of San Francisco sourdough bread, the Goldrush Sourdough starter is your ticket to sourdough bread baking bliss.

This sourdough starter culture, paired with a starter crock, is what you need to get on the road to creating your own sourdough. Very traditional and equally tasty.

Sourdough Starter Package Review

(More customer reviews)I have been using this sourdough starter for a while now. It was easy to revive and has a good flavor. The jar works well but is a little hard to handle. The jar and starter arrived quickly and well-packaged. I am pleased with everything I have purchased from Breadtopia.
