Sourdough starters have been popular since the Sumerians, Egyptians, Mayans and other ancient civilizations discovered that ground up grains mixed with water would ferment. Every civilization that ever discovered bread, discovered beer and wine at the same time. They  found that the only practical way to use his magical living substance was to save a part of the leavening from today’s bread, and use it to start tomorrow’s. We now call that ’sourdough starter’. We’re not sure that our sourdough starters would make good beer, but we do know they make excellent breads, rolls, pancakes, waffles and biscuits.
