MemberSensato:
Once half the mixture has been used for a loaf, the other half goes back into the refrigerator for later use.
When this second half of the batch is pulled out and used, I leave about 3-4 tablespoons worth of dough in the container. THis has the three cups of water added to it and one cup of flour. This then borrows from the sourdough sponge method of feeding a sourdough starter.
Following at least an hour or the next day, then the rest of the ingredients get added to the container – the tablespoon of salt and yeast and the remaining 5 1/2 cups of flour to make up to a full 6 1/2
This way I try to keep the polyculture of sourdough doing some of the fermentation along with some bakers yeast.

MemberThe best option is a food coop or whole foods store.
curiously sometimes in larger supermarkets strong flour – high gluten is is the european food section for making pasta – pasta dura flour. This is generally bleached or unbleached white.
We are lucky enough to have a store that will order in a 20kg sack for us.

an excellent three part podcast about the debt explosion and the concentration of wealth. On their back catalog are also a great history of salt in human culture and another on feeding ten billion people.

Memberwe decided to go with this option over putting mesh on the gutters – we were quoted $5000AUD for the mesh (we have a very large return verandah) and I felt it restricts you from getting in to clean out the gutters.
This diversion kit cost $232AUD and the 1.5metre length of 300mm stormwater PVC you need in addition was $138AUD.
Now just waiting for the a good rain.
If I had known about it at the time, I may have used this system instead:
I am thinking about trialling their tadpole downpipe filter as well, also designed for wet systems.

MemberI have put this in the proper place – TAE > main forum > lifeboat >community
Should there be a link to the main forum off the main page? or is that were the lifeboat link will go that currently has a 404?

MemberNot sure where to place this in the new website so moderators please move if needed.
In the interests of meeting real people to build community, does anyone need a lift from Castlemaine/Guildford to Daylesford next week the Thursday 16th for Nicoles talk?
