On day 18 do nothing. On days 19,20, and 21 stir. On day 22 stir and add 1 cup sugar, 1 cup milk and 1 cup flour. and squeeze again. On days 23,24, and 25 and 26 squeeze. On day 27 add 1 cup milk, 1 cup flour and 1 cup sugar. squeeze until mixed well. It is now ready to use. Use one cup for the bread, one cup to keep and give the rest away. The original starters do not normally call for yeast in the recipe because when they began years ago there was no such thing as yeast. I have the recipe to keep it going if anyone wants it.
