Hey All, I'm new to the site - great to see such an active community around sourdough. I've been experimenting with a sourdough starter that I feed strictly Budweiser and bread flour. I call him "buddy" http://rotiofood.com/buddy
I'm wondering if anyone else has worked with a beer starter before?
The flavor is rich and complex, extra malty and biscuity. Any tips or recipes well suited to a beer starter would be great, would love to try them out and share the results!
Thanks!

Hi rotio,
Not something I've heard of before. At first blush, it sounds like a waste of good Bud. But I guess the rest of the bottle doesn't go to waste.
I would think that you could try just about any recipe and see how it goes. Probably best to start with something simple and I can recommend the Pane francesa recipe that SourDom gives in his beginners blog as one to start with and to practice with until you start getting good bread. But be prepared to make a few loaves that might not be all that spectacular and whatever you do, don't go off on a tangent searching for magic formulas - practice with one recipe and observation is the key.
Good luck with your projects and let us know how you go.
