I made a sourdough starter some years ago, and I added a small piece of rhubarb to the mix (following advice that this helps). It got going very quickly; much quicker than subsequent attempts in which I only used flour and water. Plus it gave me a good excuse to buy some rhubarb for Mrs Pete to use in a crumble... Did you have to continue feeding it rhubarb? Or just when starting it? ...It took me three weeks or so to get my flour and water starter going properly, but like I said, it's now going on six months and is still happily bubbling. ...I've also heard of feeding starters beer, for any of those preppers who might like an excuse to crack one open.

I just put a small piece on (perhaps an inch long) at the start of the process.
Do you mean some people need an excuse to open a beer?
