Newbie question about OR Trail Starter
Hi, everyone. Long-time lurker, first-time poster here. I just received some dried Oregon Trail starter from Carl's Friends [1] yesterday, and I plan to start rejuvenating it tonight. The instructions on the website just use white flour and water, but some of the other sourdough starter recipes I've looked at use rye or whole wheat flour to start. Will I have a better chance of success if I start out feeding the dried starter with whole wheat rye flour? Thanks in advance.
