Could I get in on that? I'd be grateful. I currently have SI's Original SF
starter (excellent! I've had it several years) and Carl's 1847, also
excellent and for a good many years. I got it from Carl before he passed
away. One from Acme would be very interesting to compare.

Drying starter is really simple. Just mix some up fairly liquid (pancake
batter consistency) and spread it about 1/8" thick on waxed paper on a
cookie sheet. Let dry until hard (several days). Break it up into chunks and
powder it in a blender. Wrap it in saran wrap and mail it in an envelope, or
freeze it or whatever. To reconstitute it, just add it to a flour and water
mixture (thick pancake batter consistency). I've traded starters like this a
number of times.

Thanks in advance!
