Yeah. Slow ferment is good for bread.

Super - I do 18-24 hours regularly around 20 - then a bit warmer for second.

But I am thinking if I do it low and slow for say 48 or more in fridge - then bring out into ambient say around 22 - it might help with that big bubble production for those nice fluffly texture for some styles of bread?

Maybe, why not make a sourdough culture? Mine is well over 10 years old.

Just the bowl of flour and water and take half out and keep feeding? 

I was not making bread regularly like I am now and lost mine... and seemed a waste of flour?

Though of course makes great product!

Haha GB mate you have got me inspired to do so many other festive cookery brewery things so maybe I should do it haha!

Yep. As for use mine stayed in the fridge for 2 months and I went overseas. Worked just fine when I used it again.

Did you have a full jar with no airgap?  The one I did was fine but after being in fridge for about a month was furry... yours sounds like a beaut...

Shame you are not down the road I'd come down and pinch a bit to start a good culture : )

Reminds be of the old days Chinese people kept a master stock going for years, they probably still do but with modern technology things may have changed.

Then there was Mum in the kitchen tending to her precious Ginger Beer plant, she was horrified years later when us kids got the idea to make it alcoholic !  🤣

There was a Chinese restaurant in Melbourne's CBD which claimed they used a master stock which had been handed down for over 3 hundred years - not sure how true that is.

QUOTE: In theory, a master stock could be sustained indefinitely if due care is taken to ensure it does not spoil. There are claims of master stocks in China that are hundreds of years old, passed down through generations of cooks in this way.

Latest Bread came out nice... lightest of such loaves made so far... good overnight first rise... then long second rise... yeah pretty good - bit like a Ciabatta type texture but bit more crusty and great flavour with the wholemeal mix:

Wow Blobski!?!

Do you put in the Cabinet or some other dehydration methodology?  Help please @Green Blob

Hey Graubster, looks good, should pack & punch, not for the chilli sissy's !

@Green Blob   Get on of these, you can dehydrate anything.  I do make my own recipes as does @Graubart  but sometimes easier to buy a pack of mix from LBHS, Cheers All.

You should have just sliced a couple of kilos form the rump or fillet & left the rest for the Indians american-native-chief-head-mascot-vector-id859967100?k=6&m=859967100&s=612x612&w=0&h=DcZfTj-70J0ZfjlDeKnXvGvTalSQrCFESjin1Ba9wkA=

Haha this was one of those smaller furry hopping types that the Poms kindly brought over and left here to leave a trail of destruction over this beautiful fragile land... 

Those ones that you might have a few of in your freezer 😉
