I created my starter with yeast water using cranberries. After I used it the first time I kept it in a mason jar and started feeding it a mix of rye and bread flour and a few months ago started to feed it strictly fresh milled flour.
Características
When I started to use freshly milled flour (sifted with a 50 mesh) I noticed a change in flavor profile, smell and viscosity. It takes about 2 hrs longer to hit its peak but the extra time is worth every second. It has a very reach earthy and umami flavor profile that it did not have before. Once I incorporate it into my dough it's very active and yields fantastic loaves.

I mill flour every week and store it in the fridge and feed my starter 4 a week if I keep it outside and once a week if I put it in the fridge.
Originally I made this starter using Yeast water made from cranberries. The first feed was a mix of fresh milled flour and bakers flour and after a few weeks, I started using only fresh milled flour as it has a sweeter smell and a more umami taste..
