Buy Sourdough starter?

flour. It isn't that hard but it's a time consuming process and I usually
don't think the starter is that great until a couple months after I have it
going. I have decided to just buy one instead so hopefully I have a healthy
starter in 1 - 2 weeks. I have a couple of questions. First, I've heard
mixed stories if you obtain a certain starter that it will eventually get
populated with yeast in your own environment. Other people say the opposite
and that once yeast have a hold on a mixture they will resist and foreign
yeast. Is everyone guessing or does anyone really know? I would like to buy
the san Francisco version. I have looked at two sites to order it from:
www.sourdo.com
www.sourdoughbreads.com
Is either one better than the other? The one from sourdo is a little
pricey. Almost $20 with shipping. Will it not matter which one I order it
from because it will be replaced with the natural yeast in my environment?
Do you have any other good sites to order starters from? IF I had time I
would just get carl's starter but I really don't want to wait that long. Any
help would be appreciated
thanks

If you ask me and you are into white bread, get the Carl's!

And you can use it to seed other starters. Yeast aren't finecky!

www.breadtopia.com and buy some from Eric, or make his starter. I have
been using his starter since last January, it replenishes very well has
a great flavor. I have two starters on the go, one rye from Samartha's
instructions, and this white/WW one from Eric Rusch. He will sell you
starter for about 5 bucks, a lot better than 20 bucks!

Hi Brent,
I keep the ACME start (San Francisco), and the Poilâne (from
Paris.)
If you would like to have either (or both) for free, please
just send me an email.
All the best,
