I would not reccomend feeding a starter whole wheat flour, only white flour, but you can experiment to find out what works best for you.<br/>Ruth Wiechmann A purchased starter may be more successful, because you don’t know what strains of wild yeast live in your house—maybe they are very vigorous beasties, or maybe you don’t have much wild yeast in the air.

I found this http://www.thefreshloaf.com/node/233 which I would like to try, though I don't know if it will work with whole wheat. Are purchased sourdough starters more hearty? Do they work better with 100% whole wheat flour? I love making bread and I love the idea of wild yeast.

Nourishing Traditions! My family loves that book, and it was the main one I requested before I get married in May. My sister experimented with sourdough bread for awhile, but we all got tired of carving those "cinder blocks." :D As you said, it was probably the fact that we used all whole wheat. (Didn't Sally Fallon tell you not to use white flour? For shame!) =D<br/><br/>Thanks for the post! Yay! Nourishing Traditions!
