I feed my starter in the fridge every other day, and everything is fine so far.
-
Feed it. Then put the lid on tighter and refrigerate. Can last for weeks. No need to feed. It hibernates. When you want to use it, pull it out of the fridge and let it come to room temperature before beginning to feed again.

3 weeks agoSinless Sourdough Community 3 weeks agoI am loving the consistency of this loaf. I think being in a confined container gives the best rise in my loaf. What brand spring water is everyone using … particularly those that get good rise in the starter.

Aileen nice looking sandwich bread. Great job! As mentioned, most spring waters will work as they are 7 pH. Kirkland is over 8 and so inhibits the growth of the starter. Compliments Natural Spring Water is inexpensive and works well.

4 weeks ago (edited)Sinless Sourdough Community 4 weeks agoThis is my best tasting yet. Full disclosure i used pizza 00 style flour in the preferment and used bread booster in the dough. 24 hour preferment. Note to self. Turn the oven down when no lid. It rose too high for the lid

4 weeks agoSinless Sourdough Community 4 weeks agoDoes the bread booster go into the preferment or into the dough? I put mine in the dough and it is riding huge wgen i dont get a rise 🤞🤞 ill share pics later
-
I’m not sure what you are saying. “riding huge?” The bread booster goes into the mixer with the preferment and all the other ingredients.
-
The bread booster is not necessary. It’s just an added touch.

That is a gorgeous loaf, Aileen. I’m trying a 24 hr preferment this go round as well. It’s fun playing around with timing and tweaking. It makes each loaf an exciting mystery for the tastebuds! 😉 Great job!!!

5 weeks agoSinless Sourdough Community 5 weeks agoHappy face with 3 eyes. I was worried because it was heavy kike a hockey puck but it has alot of spring. 48 hours for preferment is too strong for me. I also really need to grab 00 flour

Keep up the good work! With dedication and practice, we will continue to grow and improve and find our preferences. My first 2 loaf was with 00 flour now I ‘m trying with sprouted spelt flour.

I just used whole wheat.

5 weeks agoSinless Sourdough Community 5 weeks agoWhats the ideal tenperature that us good for the starter? I know my house is cool and i like it that way. I am placing it inside my oven but i cant jeep the light on because the light itself will take the oven up over 100F
-
I think it’s 70°F. I tried in my oven with the door a little bit open it’s 80 and more degree. In my microwave its under 70 ° F . But I think in my pantry gonna be the winner my thermometer is at 70..9°

5 weeks ago (edited)Sinless Sourdough Community 5 weeks agoMy starter has more bubbles feeding every 12 hours. This is the start if day 8. Despite ny starter never once rising above my elastic placement after the last feed, I made my preferment today. Now to let it sit for 48 hours. 🤞🤞
-
Your starter looks like mine and me too my starter did not rise , and I think I did a great job with my first loaf of bread. I made my preferment on Tuesday, let it ferment on the counter for 48 hours, and life being what it is, I couldn’t bake as planned on Thursday night. So I put my preferment in the fridge, as Shari said. I took it out…

6 weeks agoSinless Sourdough Community 6 weeks agoMy starter is very sad. I began on sunday night. I have followed instructions and ibhave fed every 12 hours. There is zero activity. It has filled my jar so i have split into 2 jars . What do i do?

Aileen, it’s fermenting, but is slow. The slow activity could be that the environment is not warm enough. What brand of vital wheat gluten are you using? And what water are you using?
-
Aileen the first batch will be the weakest as your dear little friend is getting to know your environment. Preferment for 48 hours on the counter to boost up the lacto goodness. This will compensate for the weakness for the first batch
