I've been reading the site for a couple of weeks and have to say it seems like you have a nice community here. I've been baking for 25 years. Right now it's a great way to wait out the rain storms in Southern California. Decided to try a new starter in this cool weather. I find they have a different character than those I start in the warmer season. Fortunately I can get very fresh milled whole spelt flour here. It's got plenty of spunk. I'll post a thread with a few photos as it gets going.
I hear there is more rain on the way! Welcome to TFL!
I like spelt flour too. Wishing you a good starter start. :)
My spelt starter is made from a rye starter.
