Well it's over and I'm home. Wednesday afternoon had my total knee replacement surgery and everything went super well and I'm very happy.
So, going to do my rehab and hopefully I can open up my shop and start doing some charcuterie.
Doesn't look like I missed much, anything new out there?

Sourdough Starter

muxmun » Sat Mar 24, 2018 17:21
Some time ago I came across a way to make a sourdough starter using BLC-007 or SPX or something. I've searched for the post with no luck. Maybe it was contained in a thread.
Would appreciate a link or info if anyone has done this.
Thanks. charlie
