30. How can I ship my starter to someone else?


Take refreshed starter at peak yeast activity, and add flour to make
"noodle dough".  Roll it flat so that 2/3 oz. or so fills a postal
envelope. (A postal employee wrote suggesting a cassette mailing box
available cheaply from Radio Shack -- dg)  Wrap it in cling plastic
and mail it ordinary first class.  It should be so dry as to resemble
slightly damp cardboard.

I assume a white flour starter fed and compounded with same.  A week
in the mail will not bother it.  It can be stored in the frig for
months in this form.
