I realize I’ve been feeding it to much lol and it’s to full but does it look ready ? Tomorrow will only be day 11 but it seems to be rising quickly . This is after barely 4 hours . Has a strong yeasty smell . Thoughts ?

  1. Yep that is ready to go. Put 25g in a small jar in your fridge, then use the rest in your bread (or discard or whatever). Then, the night before you want to bake, take it out, feed it half flour and half water in the amount your recipe requires. The next morning, put 25g back into the small jar and into the fridge and use the rest in your bread.

    I know folks say 2 week minimum but hey, give it a shot & report back!

  3. I’d say go for it. Don’t expect a ton but time to start the experimentations

    I would go for it. I would not expect a very “sourdough” flavor to the loaf but it’ll get there and you’ll get there faster with more experience, so full send it. Please post results if you do

  6. Mine looks likes this but doesn’t rise. I have the bubbles on top and sides.

    What starter recipe did you use? I’m on day 13 and mine does not come close to doubling like that yet 🙁

    That’s the epitome of the term Active!

    I would make sure that it’s consistently doubling after 3-4 days.
