Works well
You need to download the instructions but they are clear and the starter works well, giving excellent results to my gluten free bread. Flavour was excellent.

Starter that won't start
Follow the instructions on the website ( the package doesn't come with any instructions ) saying that it should be ready to use after 2 feed, after 5 days still not working.

Ok...but..
All ok but Amazon price is more than double of the producer catalog on their own website. This is extremely disappointing.

Not bad
The product definitely looks bigger in the image, it comes with a link instructions online. The instructions MAY be a little bit inaccurate as it says it will activate a lot faster than it did, however this could possibly be due to conditions and yeast is not always going to work exactly how you want.

Freshly fermented 5, Recipe nul points
I bought the rye sourdough starter as all of my previous attempts at sourdough had ended in failure due to failed homemade starters. The Freshly fermented packet worked a treat - the instructions are good and easy to follow. Unfortunately, the recipe I used called for rye flour and cracked rye, which was difficult to find. So I bought rye grains and tried to crack them myself. I tried the food processor, the mortar and pestle and then the food processor again. I then soaked it. At any rate, I produced two beautifully risen and coloured loaves that broke your teeth when you bit into them because of the hardness of the rye. So, great job Freshly Fermented; bad job me. I haven't given up yet but will probably try a more basic recipe ! Theodora

Didn’t work for me
Unfortunately it didn’t work for me. Does not come with instructions with the packet but it gives you a website with comprehensive instructions. Small sachet.

2 years, still going strong
An excellent starter, very robust and easy to use. Have been baking with it for 2 years now and it’s still working great. Highly recommend.

Did not work.
I ordered the SF Sourdough starter. I do know how to cultivate a starter, I have done so several times before. However, this particular freeze dried stuff did not work at all. I tried unbleached white flour from an organic mill first. Nothing. After 24h I added some wholewheat. Nothing after 12 hours. Still waiting.No bubbles, no tangy smell, nothing. Just flour and water.So far, this has been a mistake.

Caro y no funciona
Recién fermantado, cultura cuidada desde hace generaciones, y muchas más promesas por parte del fabricante...Y llega eso: Lo que parece una bolsa gigante en la foto, en realidad es un sobre diminuto con un poco de polvo, y no trae ningún tipo de instrucciones. Tuve que buscar en la página web del fabricante para saber qué tenía que hacer.Añadí harina y agua según las indicaciones "oficiales" y el primer día la masa crecía y formaba burbujas sobremanera, incluso salía masa por la tapa del recipiente. La tuve que guardar en la nevera para calmarla.El día después todo se había reducido a su tamaño inicial, y no había manera de volver a arrancarlo. A pesar de mimarlo con la mejor harina panadera y agua mineral durante días, ya no se activaba. Se quedaba una masa acuosa que apestaba a vinagre.Aún así me atreví a coger una parte de la masa, meterla en otro recipiente, alimentarla durante algunos días más, y luego coger esta parte (que tampoco había subido) y echarle harina y agua para hacer un pan - a ver qué tal.Como era de esperar, el pan no subió para nada, era plano y compacto como una piedra y durante la horneada, toda la casa se llenaba con un olor fuerte a vinagre. No el olor agradable de un pan recien hecho de masa madre ácida, sino olor a vinagre. Y el pan, que por su consistencia ya era incomestible, también lo era por su sabor.Ya sé, he pedido un starter de masa madre ácida que viene marcado como sabor "muy ácido", pero esta acidez está a punto de reventarte las papilas de la lengua.Ahora estamos horneando con masa madra ácida de otro fabricante y estamos mucho más contentos con los resultados. No sé que habrá pasado, pero la masa madre ancestral Freshly Fermented no ha sobrevivido ni 24 horas en mi casa. Hemos puesto un punto final a este ramal de la leyenda....

Hätte Vorgänger-Rezensionen lesen sollen
Beim Kauf habe ich auf die gute Bewertung geschaut. Ich hätte die Kundenrezensionen lesen sollen. Das Produkt hat in keinem Fall der sogenannten "Spitzenbewertungen" funktioniert, also reine Geldverschwendung. Woher die relativ gute Wertung kommt, ist für mich unersichtlich, geht schon nahe an Betrug. Werde meinen Sauerteig jetzt ohne Hilfe ansetzen.
