Oh that bread would go so well with pic related.

I saw many threads about sourdough bread baking here on /ck/ but I think this thread and your posts finally inspired me to start baking as well.
Will save your posts and links and in next few days will get at it.
I have a jar with a culture that friend gave me 3 years ago to make cottage cheese and I just keep in milk and it lives happy life in the fridge.
I do make cottage cheese with it from time to time.

I have that culture (it looks like pieces of jelly) wrapped into a ball in piece of painters paint straining bag and I just put that ball into a gallon of milk
that I pour into a big glass pot and after 2 or 3 days I have thick butter milk with cream on top that I put on the stove top to heat it up a bit
till it forms curds and transfer that thing into a 5 gallon painters straining bag and hang over a pot to collect the whey that I drink for next few days.
After hanging over night the cottage cheese is ready.

I wonder if I can use that culture to make sourdough starter.
Would you have any idea anon?
Tho I would like to keep it wrapped in that paint straining bag since there are many pieces of that 'culture jelly' in it.
That 'culture jelly ball' has size of a big apricot fruit.
What do you think?
