Been doing it for 30 years. I’ve been doing more foraging and saw the idea to use juniper berries for the yeast and wanted to try it. It has been my favorite.
Characteristics
Such a healthy happy starter. Has a very slight juniper taste to it which I’m sure will disappear after each discard and feeding.

My sourdough is named June because I used juniper berries to collect the wild yeast. And my birthday is also in June.
