I don't think this is true. I have a culture that is about three years old. It really hasn't changed. The flavor is the same. If you don't handle your culture with some care to proper food handling safety then you probably will get some funk going but in my experience that funk turns to junk shortly thereafter and you're 'starting' over.
- lostlogin 5y agoMy culture is about 10 years old, split off one of my fathers. Every so often I check his - it looks, smells and tastes different. I strongly believe that the flour you feed it changes the culture. I don’t really look after mine though. I top it up occasionally, and it always works, even after months. I find it vaguely amusing every time I see an article of book on caring for your starter. It doesn’t need much, and if a few millennia in a dried out pot doesn’t prove that, nothing will.
- jnellis 5y agoI don't do anything to mine as well. It sits in the fridge for weeks at a time. But I do use the exact same flour.
