Sounds good. You'll probably need less time as the starter matures. Mine usually takes about 3-4 hours to double. I actually don't like "sour" sourdough all that much, so if I want to ferment it longer, I'll do it in the fridge, usually about 3 days, and it helps prevent the sour taste but gives depth of flavor through the long (and slowed) fermentation.

Make sure you post a picture!

Oh, do you plan to leave it out and feed daily, or stick it in the fridge and feed weekly?

This is a great site: http://www.sourdoughhome.com If you go to "Sourdough Starter Primer" and then "Starting a Starter," you'll have three possible techniques. I *highly* suggest reading through the site, though. Great information there.

I used this technique when I made my first starter: http://www.wildyeastblog.com/2007/07...ing-a-starter/ It's still going strong almost two years later. It did take about 7 days before it was ready.
