Day 5 Morning – She poofingggg:>

Usually I use (now that I measure)

30.5g – flour

11g – warm water

But when she *poofed* I used the measuring

25.7g of flour

5.1g of warm water

Will my starter still be good with that measurement? Cause I’m worried for it to rise and spill

  1. Are you discarding ? You’re using much less water than flour so I’m surprised it’s as runny as it is

    Well now I have a stupid question. . Do you always break it down like that and scoop to bake with, or do you just scoop whatever is at the top?

    Your measurements don’t need to be *that* precise.

    Why are you mixing it? Your ratios seem really off. You don’t mention how much starter you use. 30. Grams of flour to 11g of water seems like a strange ratio to be using. Without saying how much starter you’re using, no one can really even say anything about that. Then 25g flour to 5 g water is also a strange ratio as well. I’m not even sure how you have it liquidy with that kind of ratio.

    I have an 8 year old starter and I let that fucker sit in the fridge for weeks and then feed it roughly 1:1:1 sourdough :flour:water as I get it ready to bake. You’re being incredibly precise which, if you’re writing an academic paper on baking is important, probably isn’t necessary for your goals.

  6. I’m that precise lol 😂 I’m one of those people …..
