I was inspired by a post the other day that said focusing on feeling yields equal or sometimes better results than a rigid schedule and acutely following a recipe. They were absolutely right, abandoning the structured timing and using look, feel, AND time to determine when to fold and when bulk ferment was done completely changed the outcome. Super stoked about this.
