Is it possible to make a starter with just flour (KA) and water? I've
been trying to do so for about 4 days now. I mixed 50g each of water
and flour. Let it sit for about 24 hours. Dump some out and feed
again with 50g water 50g flour. I do get activity although I wouldn't
say I get a doubling in size of starter between feedings. Am I
wasting my time or will I eventually get something I can use to make
some bread rise?


Why don't you try to give it a few more days? I've made a number of starters
using a similar method. Most times it can take more than four days to get a
starter going.
