Since 2016
I've always loved baking bread, and sourdough seemed like the next step. Kneading bread and tending sourdough is a way to slow down and appreciate the passage of time. It's the closest thing to what I felt printing black and white photographs in the darkroom.
Characteristics
Aylicha has a fruity and gently nutty and sour flavor.

I feed it 50% white flour (usually bread flour), and 50% whole wheat (a variety of wheat flours including einkorn, yecora rojo, and/or red fife as well as hard red spring wheat). When I can, I add some rye to the mix. I add equal portions wheat and filtered water (by weight) - typical feeding is 50g flour, 50g water... give or take. I eyeball it!
