I am using a bread machine to do the initial kneading.

I got an excellent rise. The loaf was beautiful, had excellent crumb
and had a golden crust.

I've used the same process using the Goldrush starter sold at
Earthfare. That starter made a very sour tasting loaf, but the rise
was not nearly as robust as the Carl's. I'm using Carl's again tonight
to make to loaves of french bread.
