Quote from: poobah58 on August 23, 2012, 04:40:04 AMMy feeling is if you're willing to go thru all that trouble to make a starter, why not put the starter into 6 or 7 mason jars and put them in a pressure cooker at 15 psi for 15-20 minutes. It's not a ton of work to do this (I did 21 jars this weekend). Jars and pressure cookers are cheap and it sure is nice to have a few jars of starter at your disposal...Is this basically pasteurization? How long will a starter like this keep? Do you refrigerate?
