My starter doesn’t double in size like Slomo’s. It’s more like elastic when I feed it, but it doesn’t rise. I feed it 1 tablespoon of oat fiber and vital wheat gluten, and 2 to 4 tablespoons of water. It’s at about 74 degrees. I still make good bread and other things. Am I worrying too much? Slomo has really set the bar high for my expectations for Hootchie Mama and Son of Hootchie.

Nancy if you keep feeding HM when she is at the top of the jar she will burst above the rim like Slomo. You have probably just used her when she hits the tip. That extra feeding or 2 takes her to the sky! It’s not necessary but it’s cool to experience!

They never rise; they stay the same after feeding. Maybe they rise a tiny bit over the elastic, but they never double or even rise an inch. But I still bake with them. The bread tastes good, and I even made crackers with just the starter, butter, and salt. They were so good; the first batch disappeared in minutes! I had to make a second one, lo

@famillerodriguehotmail-com Mine never ever rises. I can fill it to the top. Still no rise. But I’m loving my bread loaf results.

Slomo’s gotten slow again since I put him in the fridge…I don’t think he’s forgiven me.😆

@crothman32 Hope he’ll forgive you. You can probably win him over, like most men, with some good meal lolol
