Gluten-Free Sourdough Starter image

From Red Star Yeast. I have not tried this, but with the interest in gluten-free recipes, I thought this would be of interest. The Red Star Yeast people say you must use active dry yeast - instant yeast apparently does not work in gluten-free recipes. They state that this will get tangier as it gets older.
