Attention bread experts! How can I make San Francisco sourdough in South Carolina?

No matter how well I take care of the starter, it's just never sour enough and doesn't rise well enough. My mother (a bread virtuoso) says the air is different and it just can't be done.

Update:

Don't call it San Fran. Don't call it Frisco. Just a lil tip for you in case you ever go. :-)

    I doubt there's that much difference in the SF and SC air. You are probably not using fresh starter or not letting it grow enough.

    I know this place in Ann Arbor (Zingermans) they would buy the bread 1/2 baked and finish the baking in Ann Arbor.

    use the recipe at www.cooks.com and let set out in the sun until double before making the bread.
