Desem Starter
I am considering trying to make Desem bread, and the recipe I've found for it requires 10# of freshly milled whole wheat flour to get it going (maybe 5# according to Mike) I do have a friend with a (small) mill so I might be able to make this happen but I have two questions:
1. Does anyone have a Desem starter they would be willing to share? (I wonder if it is dryable/freezable like a normal starter)
2. Does anyone know what kind of wheat I am supposed to use and where to get it? Do I use this: http://morebeer.com/view_product/17121/102155/Wheat [1] ?
