A question re starters/cultures - do the starters ordered from other places eventually acclimate to the yeasts in your area and change flavors or will they retain their original flavors?
They will be eventually taken over by the prevalent yeasts...

Every time you divide and feed your starter, you are exposing it to local yeasts..

So yes that San Francisco starter culture you bought, will eventually be a small fraction o your starter...

Just make your own... 50/50 flour/water... by mass ... enjoy your terroir..
