I too have been in quest for the period bread-rising agent -- ale barm =
and still plan to start brewing to have a ready supply.

The question of bolting cloth has come up and my solution was this:
1st -- use cheesecloth folded in two to remove most of the coarse stuff.
2nd -- use diaper fabric (It's a type of gauze & can be purchased at =
most fabric stores.) or buy a package of cloth diapers (not the =
prefolded kind) -- I also use this fabric for draining cheese curds.
=20
Be warned -- the second bolting takes much time and effort to get enough =
good, faire flour for 1 loaf. My flour came out pale yellow (I ground =
spring wheat, a soft variety, in my Magic Mill.).  I didn't have time to =
age it properly for that nice white color -- it can be bleached in the =
sun also.

Also don't try to make cheese at the same time as bolting the flour.  My =
fresh cheese was described by A&S judges as having a "yeasty" taste -- =
wonder where that came from ; )
