I was referring to the frozen commercial dough.  I should have been more 
specific.  Sorry.  You can usually find frozen sourdough at any good 
restaurant supply house.  It's not really all that sour, but it will help 
your starter, and the sourness will increase with time.  It's a good way to 
innoculate the starter with the right kind of bacteria.
