Sourdough Starter Exchange

Anyone interested in a sourdough starter exchange?

Hi,

I have a very active starter that I got going from Carl's Friends 1847 Oregon starter (I think that's the name).  It does a great job.

I'm in! I've got a (according to legend) very old starter -- 150+ years -- that my grandpa has been keeping going for the past 36 years. It's active, healthy, and fed weekly. I've never shipped it but would be absolutely willing to try.

This might be fun to do since most of the time I discard more than half of my starter when I feed it anyway. My starters seem to run in the mild (non sour) catagory. I would be interested in some starter that results in a very sour finished product.

I'm sure sending a small amount isn't going to break the bank either. Do you think it makes a difference if it's sent during the hotter summer months, or should it be sent during the cooler winter months. I think here in the states, ground UPS is about 5 days.
