Since 2019
I always baked yeasted breads growing up and wanted to try sourdough long ferments.
Characteristics
Its very sweet smelling, and sour in flavor. I never use more than 5% rye in my breads because with the starter , it is very sour.

Henry is a rye starter with 100% hydration.
I fresh mill my rye berries that are in my freezer. Its hot here in california so he lives in my fridge until i bake. He has a very fruit sugar (like nectarines or peaches) sweetness in smell and a sour flavor in the breads.
