@Cerberus The water pressure in my shower is magical though. I have a 1 by 1 foot showerhead fixed, hot and sweet. If I use the detachable shower-head I can probably shower away next Thursdays oatmeal breakfast tomorrow morning, if properly directed. Are you doing allright?
Yeast is also scarce here, so this question inspired me to check whether there was life in the well-past-the-best-before-date yeast in my fridge and possibly secure some for the near future.
That’s a 1.5 cup jar. Filled one third with a water-flour slurry (pancake batter consistency) plus a teaspoon of sugar and a bean-sized lump of cake yeast.
Parked on the radiator, as I was aiming for quick yeast growth, not flavor development, obviously.
The jar was overflowing in a bit over an hour. What’s missing in the photo above went into a second, significantly larger jar, fed again with a higher flour ratio. Let’s see how long we can keep it up.
Maybe it’ll get turned into a Hermann or something like that. Or I just use it all at some point.
I've got a few packets of yeast in my freezer, but I have started this as well because there's a lot of food chain disruption here. I'm proofing my own bread as we speak, too
@GdD not baking (much, yet), as I’m still sick. So I do the bare minimum and the whole social distancing / working from home is actually good for me. And I need to buy more flour. The local mill expects a larger delivery midweek or towards the weekend.
@GdD exactly. Out of breath while sitting on the couch. Still trying to work from home, but I caved on Friday. Doctor wrote me a sick note (or whatever the correct term in English is). But with the Corona side effects, I am still checking my work mails and attend some meetings.
