Quite likely caught the wrong one. After that, you'd need to
worry about catching the right lactobacterium. So then you'd
need to construct some sort of a thermoregulated enclosure
for you stuff to grown in, and maybe more than one of those
if you intend to make complicated breads. Then some baskets=20
for the dough to "proof" in. You'd need to learn some German to=20
order those, and something about the tax structure in the E.=20
Union and how to deal with domestic ("Homeland") customs.
You also need to modify whatever inadequate oven you may
have by adding ceramic or masonry slabs and figuring out some
way to introduce adequate humidity ("steam") at the moment
it is required.

And that's just to start. You need some French to understand
the banneton and the couche and the coupe and the lame, and
some Italian and Polish, too, if you expect to cover all the bases
when it comes to starters. And that's not all, but bandwidth is
limited.

So that is why it is sometimes said that it may be worthwhile
to consider getting one's bread at the store.
