There are three great places all about sourdough I can recommend. I've learned a lot from the newsgroup called rec.food.sourdough. What a great bunch of people who know everything!!! There are purists who would never dream of adding yeast to get it started and their are the other types. If you can check out this newsgroup, please do. Then a site that some of the people from the newsgroup have in honor of Carl Griffith's sourdough starter is at: http://home.att.net/~carlsfriends/ You can get some of Carl's starter free from them and start your own from Carl's very own:-) And also check out this page: http://www.sourdoughhome.com/index.html for all sorts of recipes and ideas on sourdough. Hope that's enough to get you started:-)

I've found this article helpful. It details how to make a starter from scratch: http://sourdough.com/blog/sourdom/beginners-blog-starter-scratch There's also this forum post with photos comparing stages of 3 separate starters (different ingredients and methods) at day 1, day 2 etc. http://sourdough.com/forum/topic/54

2 c. unsifted flour 2 tbsp. sugar 1 tbsp. salt 1 1/2 c. water 1 tbsp. vinegar Combine flour, sugar and salt in a stone crock. Mix well. Add water. Beat to a smooth batter. Add vinegar, cover with cheese cloth. Set in warm place until thoroughly sour. You determine this by the yeasty smell, usually takes about 12 hours. After this process you refrigerate starter in loosely covered containers between bakings. When you take out starter replenish with 2 cups warm water and 2 cups flour.
