Drying sprouted grains

Hi.

 

I have an electric oven and not a gas oven. Would it be possible to dry sprouted grains in an electric oven? Maybe if I have the oven on its lowest temp, which is about 50 Celsius, with the door slightly open? How long would that approximately take?

Will the enzymes start to spoil at about 104 fahrenheit, or how high can I go?

Has anyone tried this?

Drying starter

February 10, 2013 - 4:17am -- neilbaldwyn

Hello,

 

After some recent issues with my starter I'm looking to dry some as a back up. I'm going for drying it out on parchment paper, but wondered when is best to dry? I'm assuming that once the starter has reached its peak after feeding would be best but just wondered what other peoples experiences were?

 

Cheers

 

Neil

Dried starter travel travails

Since I need to break in a friend's new laptop, I might as well post something here.

Before leaving South Africa to visit family in the States, I dried some of my starter so that I could transport it easily and bake some sourdough breads for family members.  The drying part went okay.  Everything else, not so well.
