Captain Sourpants
Captain Sourpants is a small American seller built around one thing: a San Francisco style heirloom sourdough culture, offered dehydrated in a 0.35 oz packet or shipped alive. The website reads half shop, half manual, with a seven day activation routine for the dried powder, same day feeding instructions for the live jar, and recipes that use discard. The culture is described as all natural and non GMO with no preservatives. Most orders go through Amazon, where repeat delivery is available for bakers who keep losing their starter.
Handy for anyone whose homemade starter never took off, since a mature culture skips the fickle first week. Bakers with a lively jar already gain nothing here. Food orders are non returnable, the live version needs attention the day it lands, and the age of the culture is company lore rather than something a buyer can verify.
