Fruit Yeast Water for Levain (Italian Starter)
A simple, natural fruit yeast water that jump‑starts an Italian levain (levito madre). Using ripe, unwaxed fruit (grapes, apples peel, plums, etc.) and warm water, you create a lively, yeasty liquid in 24‑48 hours that can be fed to a sourdough starter for a fast, stable fermentation.

Critical Success Points

- • Maintaining a steady temperature of 30‑32°C during fermentation.
- • Covering the jar loosely to allow gas exchange while keeping contaminants out.
Safety Warnings
- • Do not use fruit that has been treated with wax or pesticides.
- • Do not let the fermentation temperature exceed 35°C, which can kill the yeast.
