I have watched my very capable cook father fail many times in a row, with several methods, to successfully make a sourdough starter, or whatever it’s called.
My first one didn’t last, but my second try, made with regular all purpose flour from the grocery and tap water, has been going strong for over a decade now. I do ferment other stuff too. Wondering if he could seed it with starter from someone local, I’ve shared mine before and it helped people.

Oh, I’ve never tried making the starter from nothing; mine is from a friend. It’s probably easier just to ask around.
