That old chestnut...

How long do you reckon it will need to prove?

Ale yeast and bread yeast are the same species as bread yeast was developed from ale yeast. In ye olden days the krausan or 'barm' was added to the bread leven to aid rising. the expression Barm Cake meaning someone mad is from the baking as when barm was added to the bread leven or sponge it went mad.

Looking forward to see how it turns out :thumb:
