Catching the yeastLoading...
1) To catch the yeast, we filled a small container with a mixture of flour and water.Loading...
2) We covered the top of the pot with gauze in order to only let bacteria in.Loading...

3) We then left that outside for 6 hours.Loading...

4) We took it inside, tipped the mixture into a flask and left it in a warm place (e.g in the sun or by the radiator).Loading...

Feeding the yeastLoading...
Every day for 4 days, we tipped half of the mixture away and added more flour.Loading...
This made sure that only the bacteria that could survive on flour were left: the yeast.Loading...
