It's Dead Jim

I am pretty ok at making bread.
So, I thought I'd try to make a sourdough starter using wild yeast.
That is using the flour's own yeast, not having a packet of it.




Lengthy process, daily feeding.
In the end...it met its end.
Many reasons for this...
Even though I used filtered water, it may have had something in it that killed the yeast.
They suggest distilled water.
I didn't discard enough starter when feeding it.
Flour could have been too old (doubtful)
Either way...I will try again



Some separation, can be saved
 
I took some out and continued to feed...It's dead
