Also question is, does sourdough starter improve with age?
When you first create a sourdough starter, it will have a mild flavor. With time, the flavor increases. This leads people to brag about their decades-old starters, as if a 100-year-old starter has a better flavor than a 10-year-old starter. While flavor does increase in the beginning, eventually it plateaus.
Likewise, how long can you keep sourdough starter? 2-14 days
how do I know if my sourdough starter is bad?
Dark brown or pink starters have been contaminated. Immediately throw out the entire batch as this indicates the starter has gone bad. Smell your sourdough starter before each use. Expect the smell of fresh unbaked bread dough, or a yeast-like odor.
How old is the oldest yeast?
