It was just below the line around 1:30pm. Good growth so far. Still smells good. I did something right.

What are you doing?

Sourdough Starter for bread baking. It’s capturing the wild yeast that’ s in the air. Every day for 1 week you feed it once a day by mixing equal parts flour & water, then adding a little of the mature starter to boost it. Since yeast is a live bacteria, it’s active. It’s science.

Just one little quibble with that: yeast are fungi, not bacteria.
You’ve reminded me that it’s time to bring mine back from the dead. I’ve got a good bread machine recipe for sourdough beer bread that goes fantastic with stew or pot roast.

What are you, a scientist or something?

Good luck! The two times I tried this, they started off well, but then went fruity around day 5 and moldy on day 7. I think I should have fed it twice a day instead of once a day.

I JUST started making my dough today! Took me over a week for my starter to start growing because I leave my house pretty cold at night.. I ended up leaving the jar on top of my network switch overnight and BLAM! That worked! Of course, much to my chagrin, I was reading the recipe and saw that this shit has to sit another 12 hours in the fridge today before I can bake it tomorrow.
What a process.

I debated for a long minute between the scientist side of me that needs to be accurate and the friend side that says, “don’t be a know it all, dude, you’ll sound like a dick.”
You see which won.
