Wholemeal bread with poolish

The poolish is a liquid yeast, which is prepared before final dough, through the mixing of flour and water in equal quantities.
Only difficulty, the percentage of yeast to be used: not fixed but varies depending on the time for which is left to ferment the poolish.
I do rise without adding another yeast, but in this case the time must be very long: 8-12 hours.
