Transcript of June 2012 #BreadChat (from Twitter)
#BreadChat is a Twitter discussion hour for bakers of yeasted, artisanal breads.
At today's #BreadChat, we were fortunate to co-host once again with @EricFrenchBaker, Master Baker at Daylesford Organic.
The focus for this month's #BreadChat was feeding schedules for wild yeast cultures, with special attention to the effects of weather. We even heard about a 57-year-old sourdough starter!
Below is the transcript (note: it reads from bottom to top, Twitter-style).

Patrick Ryan @pwjryan @Pricesthebakers @EricFrenchBaker very true, the ultimate bakers challenge #breadchat
lance gardner @lancepastrychef @pwjryan Do u why spelt starters are hard to keep I have tried but failed #breadchat
Patrick Ryan @pwjryan that is what i love about bread such a personnal thing, always something for every taste bud #breadchat
Eric Duhamel @EricFrenchBaker @pwjryan That's the big advantage of working with a natural leaven. Diversity of tastes and textures. #BreadChat
Peter Cook @Pricesthebakers @EricFrenchBaker @pwjryan And its the skill of the baker to manage all the variables to produce a consistent loaf. #breadchat
Patrick Ryan @pwjryan @Pricesthebakers @EricFrenchBaker very true, the ultimate bakers challenge #breadchat
Eric Duhamel @EricFrenchBaker @pwjryan @Pricesthebakers That's perfectly exact ! Not always easy though... ;-) #BreadChat
ChicagoAmateurBakers @AmateurBakers @BreadStormBaker (full disclosure, new sponsor of our non-profit!) looking for a few beta testers, advanced bakers using formulas #BreadChat
ChicagoAmateurBakers @AmateurBakers @GuitarGoth Welcome to #BreadChat
Alex Gooch @AlexGoochbaker @Pricesthebakers im with you mate,struggling to keep my eyes open:) #breadchat
ChicagoAmateurBakers @AmateurBakers @AmateurBakers hit our #Twitterlimit, which means we can't follow any more bakers :-( Please follow us, so we can remove limit #BreadChat
Patrick Ryan @pwjryan @GuitarGoth @HartsBakery @HobbsHouse a strong blood line #breadchat

ChicagoAmateurBakers @AmateurBakers With just 3 minutes left for today's #BreadChat, we have a couple of announcements.
GuitarGoth @GuitarGoth @pwjryan Own starter 2+ years (white) with a couple of derived cousins from @HartsBakery & @HobbsHouse #breadchat
ChicagoAmateurBakers @AmateurBakers @lknall Welcome to #BreadChat
Alex Gooch @AlexGoochbaker @pwjryan so true #breadchat
Peter Cook @Pricesthebakers Should turn out light angle go to sleep but caught up in #breadchat
Liesel Davidson @lknall @AmateurBakers if you feed it regularly- even every 36 hours sometimes it still springs back #breadchat
steven winter @bread_source @EricFrenchBaker I agree to much acidity (some people love) masks all the flavour of a well made loaf. #breadchat
Alex Gooch @AlexGoochbaker @EricFrenchBaker @AmateurBakers sight+smell for me,my heart lies with a rye starter,other ones come and go but the rye is king #breadchat
Patrick Ryan @pwjryan that is what i love about bread such a personnal thing, always something for every taste bud #breadchat
ChicagoAmateurBakers @AmateurBakers We used our levain to make this 3kg miche over the weekend (photo, formula): http://www.amateurbakers.org/2012/06/whats-miche-to-you.html #BreadChat
Eric Duhamel @EricFrenchBaker @AmateurBakers A good acidity is important for a good leaven. That's one of its caracteristics. #BreadChat
ChicagoAmateurBakers @AmateurBakers @waynecaddy1 Welcome to #BreadChat
steven winter @bread_source Seriously always always taste it, once that flour taste has gone and left a lovely tang shes ready. #breadchat
Peter Cook @Pricesthebakers @AmateurBakers I go purely by sight. Amount and size of bubbles can tell you a lot. #breadchat
Eric Duhamel @EricFrenchBaker @AmateurBakers But I'd like to precise that this is my own taste and my style of bread... #BreadChat
ChicagoAmateurBakers @AmateurBakers @BreadStormBaker Yes, that's OK, now that's were approaching the last 5 minutes of #BreadChat, it's free discussion time. #BreadChat
Eric Duhamel @EricFrenchBaker @AmateurBakers I especially pay attention to avoid a sour taste (too much acetic acid) which I find unpleasant, almost gross.#BreadChat
ChicagoAmateurBakers @AmateurBakers @MummaRuth Welcome to #BreadChat! There are a couple of good gluten-free baking blogs, find links to them from our blog http://www.amateurbakers.org
steven winter @bread_source Never eyeball your starter too much it will never peak, its like going to the urinal on a night out #stagefright #breadchat
ChicagoAmateurBakers @AmateurBakers @ShakeySemple Yes, this has turned out to be a great topic. We must thank @WindyCityWriter for suggesting it #BreadChat
Eric Duhamel @EricFrenchBaker @AmateurBakers The tasting give me an estimation of the acidity. I also control the type of acidity (lactic or acetic). #BreadChat
Peter Cook @Pricesthebakers @AlexGoochbaker @EricFrenchBaker you get a much "sourer" sourdough with a longer interval between feeds. Obv not too long. #breadchat
Ruth Tarrant @MummaRuth @RealBread @amateurbakers #BreadChat Hi, looking for a good gluten free bread recipe as one of my boys is on a wheat free diet
Patrick Ryan @pwjryan @richard_howell @EricFrenchBaker try it out on a saturday night #breadchat
ChicagoAmateurBakers @AmateurBakers @EricFrenchBaker You taste it? What does the taste tell you? #BreadChat
David Semple @ShakeySemple @AmateurBakers thank you very interesting #breadchat
BreadStorm Software @BreadStormBaker @AmateurBakers Is it OK to ask during #BreadChat? Looking for a few advanced bread bakers to join our beta group. Bakers using formulas.
David Semple @ShakeySemple @pwjryan @bread_source will let you know how it works interested to see if taste goes all the way to loaf #breadchat
Eric Duhamel @EricFrenchBaker @AmateurBakers Personally, I estimate the maturation of my leaven on sight and with my taste... #BreadChat
Eric Duhamel @EricFrenchBaker @pwjryan Actually, you can make a starter with whatever contains starch. Potato is a classic in Germany. #BreadChat
Alex Gooch @AlexGoochbaker @EricFrenchBaker @Pricesthebakers it depends what flavour,texture im looking for,past its peak can create some fantastic results#breadchat
Patrick Ryan @pwjryan has anyone ever tried the maoiri starter using potato and potato, its interesting stuff #breadchat
ChicagoAmateurBakers @AmateurBakers @ShakeySemple Welcome to #BreadChat
ChicagoAmateurBakers @AmateurBakers Q3: Besides eye-balling starter to know when it's peaked, other measurements we can make? Use water glass, thermometer, litmus… #BreadChat
Eric Duhamel @EricFrenchBaker @pwjryan This was due to a cloth let on the leaven for protecting it, with a hole in the middle. #BreadChat
Patrick Ryan @pwjryan @EricFrenchBaker i like that analogue #breadchat
Patrick Ryan @pwjryan @ShakeySemple @bread_source interesting let us know how it goes #breadchat
Eric Duhamel @EricFrenchBaker @pwjryan In the old times, bakers were use to say (in France) that it's ready when it makes the nipple... ;-) #BreadChat
ChicagoAmateurBakers @AmateurBakers Time for question 3 #BreadChat
David Semple @ShakeySemple @bread_source @pwjryan I am trying a new starter made with elderflower flour and water just today roll on great bread ny Sunday #breadchat
ChicagoAmateurBakers @AmateurBakers @EricFrenchBaker @pwjryan We've used the "floating leaven" technique to test our panettone leaven. #BreadChat
Alex Gooch @AlexGoochbaker @richard_howell @pwjryan @ericfrenchbaker @amateurbakers knocking the air out doesn't matter,the feeding yeast will put it back #breadchat
Eric Duhamel @EricFrenchBaker @pwjryan When the leaven floats... Honestly, I never heard of this technique... maybe. #BreadChat
ChicagoAmateurBakers @AmateurBakers @pwjryan 100% coarse rye chops, fermented with sourdough, one of the tastiest breads in the world. Finns are raised on it. #BreadChat
ChicagoAmateurBakers @AmateurBakers @pwjryan Good question! #BreadChat
Patrick Ryan @pwjryan what is everyones favourite kind of sourdough, any funky flavour combos out there # breadchat
Rich Howell @richard_howell @pwjryan @ericfrenchbaker @amateurbakers is this stage when the leaven floats in water as advocated by Chad Robertson/Tartine? #BreadChat
Eric Duhamel @EricFrenchBaker @Pricesthebakers It's true but, still, the peak is the best time. #BreadChat
BreadStorm Software @BreadStormBaker #BreadChat @EricFrenchBaker is a 6-year-old culture superior to a 6-month-old culture? Does culture continue improving after it "matures?"
Eric Duhamel @EricFrenchBaker @pwjryan Knocking out the gas is not important during the mixing as the fermentation will produce some after. #BreadChat
Patrick Ryan @pwjryan @richard_howell @ericfrenchbaker @amateurbakers it will but this is the stage at which u want to catch your starter #breadchat
Rich Howell @richard_howell @pwjryan @ericfrenchbaker @amateurbakers does the air not get knocked out when mixing with flour and water? #BreadChat
steven winter @bread_source @pwjryan I like to think it more rock and roll, Old man Rod Stewart trading his wife in for a younger model every 6 months. #breadchat
Peter Cook @Pricesthebakers @EricFrenchBaker I used to think that too. But now realise you can make fantastic bread after the starter has "peaked". #breadchat
ChicagoAmateurBakers @AmateurBakers @Kerstinskitchen We understand. We were motivated, in part, by 100% Finnish rye sourdough, dense and chewy, which we make at home #BreadChat
Eric Duhamel @EricFrenchBaker @AmateurBakers When a leaven becomes weak, you need to refresh it several times at warm temperature. #BreadChat
ChicagoAmateurBakers @AmateurBakers Bread bakers listening in to #BreadChat, please follow us (if not already). We've hit our #Twitterlimit and need followers. Please RT!
Patrick Ryan @pwjryan @EricFrenchBaker @AmateurBakers u want 2 keep the air trapped in your starter use it at its height of fermenation for max result #breadchat
Alex Gooch @AlexGoochbaker ln summer i use v cold water and if its very warm i reduce time between feeds.she goes in the fridge if im not baking #breadchat
Peter Cook @Pricesthebakers @AmateurBakers @pwjryan Clive Mellum. Baker at Shipton Mill. #realbread hero #BreadChat
Kerstin Losch @Kerstinskitchen @AmateurBakers Ty, bake mainly for home use, missing German dense rye bread got me into sourdough #breadchat
Patrick Ryan @pwjryan @bread_source be you grow quiet attached like giving a kid up for adoption. regulary work her out and she will stay strong #breadchat
ChicagoAmateurBakers @AmateurBakers @EricFrenchBaker Right stage, do you means when it just begins to recede, after a robust fermentation period? #BreadChat
Eric Duhamel @EricFrenchBaker @AmateurBakers This means it needs to be at the apogee of the fermenting potential. When it goes further, you need to refresh it. #BreadChat
Eric Duhamel @EricFrenchBaker @AmateurBakers The important thing is to make sure your leaven is at the right stage when you use it. #BreadChat
ChicagoAmateurBakers @AmateurBakers @EricFrenchBaker How do you revive a leaven that is not in good health? #BreadChat
ChicagoAmateurBakers @AmateurBakers @Kerstinskitchen Welcome to #BreadChat
ChicagoAmateurBakers @AmateurBakers @AlexGoochbaker Welcome to #BreadChat
Eric Duhamel @EricFrenchBaker @AmateurBakers The only time I thrown out a leaven is when it suddenly died, maybe due to a virus. Otherwise, never. #BreadChat
ChicagoAmateurBakers @AmateurBakers @pwjryan @Pricesthebakers Clives? Translate from the Irish, please :-) #BreadChat
steven winter @bread_source Just throwing it out there, #breadchat
Patrick Ryan @pwjryan @lancepastrychef a beauty #breadchat, have always liked the name stacey , tempromental old girl
steven winter @bread_source Don't you think old leaven get lazy and dull just like people? How about a nice fresh zesty lively one produced every six months? #breadchat
Kerstin Losch @Kerstinskitchen @AmateurBakers There is a distinction in smell #BreadChat
Eric Duhamel @EricFrenchBaker
@pwjryan This is true if you have a good control of your leaven's fermentation. #BreadChat
ChicagoAmateurBakers @AmateurBakers
This is #BreadChat, brought to you from sweltering hot 95C/35C Chicago. We're talking about maintaining sourdough culture over the summer.
Alex Gooch @AlexGoochbaker hi there! my starter is 7 years old,i started it with sprouted spelt. mine lives out of the fridge..#breadchat
Rich Howell @richard_howell @EricFrenchBaker blimey 30kg! 400g is a lot for me :) #BreadChat
Patrick Ryan @pwjryan @Pricesthebakers i tink every has had a bit of clives, it gets around lol #breadchat
ChicagoAmateurBakers @AmateurBakers Q2: How do you know when it's time to throw out your wild yeast culture? How do you know when it has gone bad? #BreadChat
ChicagoAmateurBakers @AmateurBakers We'll add in question 2 now #BreadChat
Eric Duhamel @EricFrenchBaker @richard_howell The fridge is around 3 °c. The batch of leaven is a minimum of 25-30 kg. So, it takes a while to cool down. #BreadChat
Patrick Ryan @pwjryan if used on a daily basis sitting at room temp is prefectly fine. if you only use it once a week fridge and feed every 4 days #breadchat
Peter Cook @Pricesthebakers The 1st starter I was given was from Clive Mellum at Shipton Mill. Threw it out when I thought I'd killed it and started again #breadchat
Eric Duhamel @EricFrenchBaker @AmateurBakers @richard_howell The time in the fridge allow the leaven to achieve its maturation. Then, it stabilises. #BreadChat
Rich Howell @richard_howell @EricFrenchBaker what temp do you run fridge at? #BreadChat
ChicagoAmateurBakers @AmateurBakers @bread_source Welcome to #BreadChat!
ChicagoAmateurBakers @AmateurBakers @EricFrenchBaker That's OK, Eric. Stay with us. Technical problems happen sometimes. #BreadChat
Eric Duhamel @EricFrenchBaker @richard_howell We use a fridge. #BreadChat
steven winter @bread_source Howdy from the East #bread chat
ChicagoAmateurBakers @AmateurBakers @EricFrenchBaker @richard_howell We let leaven rise at room temperature & cool it down over night #BreadChat Eric, why do you do that?
Eric Duhamel @EricFrenchBaker @AmateurBakers It looks like I don't get all the messages... Twitter doesn't work well here... #BreadChat
Peter Cook @Pricesthebakers @AmateurBakers Never take its temperature, but by experience you get to know what's too cold and what's too warm. #breadchat
Rich Howell @richard_howell @EricFrenchBaker do you use ambient temp to cool down or fridge? #BreadChat
ChicagoAmateurBakers @AmateurBakers RT WOW @richard_howell @Tom_Herbert_ mine is 57years old got it from @Tom_Herbert_ #breadchat

ChicagoAmateurBakers @AmateurBakers @richard_howell @EricFrenchBaker Q1: How important is temperature constancy, in encouraging a thriving wild yeast culture? #BreadChat

ChicagoAmateurBakers @AmateurBakers Professional bakers have luxury of temperature/humidity-controlled cabinets for sourdough. We home bakers, likely not. #BreadChat
