Well, until I found you guys all I had was baking books I confess the
"rancid rye starter" rumor is from Nancy Silverton.

I'm going to start a rye-based culture this weekend, I'm sure if I read
Samartha's site carefully I'll get some good advice. If it kicks off and
tastes good, I'll branch off a new white starter from it, and keep both
going. Looking for that lactic acid.

Thanks,

Paul
