Found out my grandma's 50 year old starter is actually younger than me
Was digging through my mom's recipe box last weekend and found a note that my grandma started her 'vintage' sourdough starter in 1998, not the 70s like she always claimed. I was born in 95 so that thing is a total fraud lol. Has anyone else caught family members lying about how old their starter is?

Hold on, "decade younger" is a bit generous. 1998 was only 27 years ago, so that makes your starter like 2 years younger than you if you were born in the mid 90s. Still a solid find, but not quite a full decade gap. Did you try baking with it yet to see if the age actually matters?
