Hello, I am new to this group. I read in the Sourdough FAQ about
turning starter into a "noodle dough" in order to send it through the
mail. However, there are no specific instructions for reconstituting
it upon receipt. (I would like to turn it back into a classic wet
starter.) I need the instructions before I can send my starter to the
recipients. Thanks for your help.

Upon arrival, I'd triple the existing flour amount in the starter. If it
gets too big, take a smaller portion. Add the amount of water so it's in
the desired consistency.

First add some or all the water and mix in the existing starter, so it
is all dissolved. Then stir the flour in.

If it does not come up and get alive within 6 - 8 hours, post again.
