The health benefits of it, and the distinctive flavour of it. I love trying out new things.
Characteristics
It's very "noble" and grateful for being fed. After being neglected it for 3 months and it was active and frothy within 12 hours. It usually doubles quickly and soemtimes even triples. A small tablespoon of rye or whole wheat is enough to get it active, if it slows down.

Continue this feeding adding for 7 or 8 days, until the starter matures and doubles or triples in size. A small amount of sourdough will do before every feeding but you can keep it at 3 oz. Feed it every 12 hours.
It should be very bubbly and if dropped in water it will float.
