Active, and makes perfect loaves

Wonderfully aggressive. Triples in size within a few hours. 50g starter in a 500g flour loaf proofs in 4 hours at 75F. Pleasant, subtle, sweet flavor.

Item arrived promptly. Following provided instructions, the starter is very active, but is not as sour as I was hoping for. Still working to get it more flavorful, but still is a good starter and very active.
