Starter from hard apple cider
Hello,
I just made some hard apple cider and was wondering if I could use the left over yeast to make a sourdough starter. Does anyone know if or how this could be done? Thank you.

I made starters from accidentally fermented jam, store-bought kefir, and leftover trub after beer brewing.
You just add some flour and let it sit at room temperature, waiting until it starts to develop bubbles on the surface. Feed it a few times more and try it out (see Fun with Sourdough.)
My most active starter is the one made from trub. It still smells slightly beer, same as the kefir starter still smells like milk - even years after I made them.
Happy New Year,
