                When we were in North Carolina last week, @ROman offered me some out-of-date yeast.  Never the one to look a gift horse in the mouth, I have bought it home.

                I thought the best way to see if it is still any good/active, was to run a controlled bake against my super-duper German yeast.

                I have just started the Poolish (Pooli ?)…..

                  So, the Poolish is doing what Poolish does.  It seems that the @ROman out-of-date yeast is not as vigorous as ze German - at least, at this stage….

                        Sounds glorious.

                                Both looking lovely though. Be interesting to see the any eventual difference in the crumb.
