Default What yeast is this ?


600 ml lukewarm water
70 g white flour
70 g common sugar
10 g salt

Put them in a plastic basin, in that order, don't mix. Cover
with a cloth.
After 24 hrs, mix gently 2x a day.

After 5 days, there is a lot of activity.

Take 200 g of the mixture above, put it in a loosely covered
jar (I used a 1 liter plastic coke bottle with a loose plastic top)
and add
400 g warm water
70 g white flour
70 g sugar
5 g salt

Mix well.
The next day it's fermenting so fast you can make bread with
it, as long as you add a generous amount of sugar to the recipe.
It smells yeasty, sweetish, and slightly alcoholic, but not
sour.
Anyone have any idea what the biological agents are ?
TIA
