i mean ive done it once but it was a few years ago in school, ill try and see what i can remember
 
i wanted to make but i was scared it was gonna get fungus lmao, i know it doesnt
but i did save a few videos on how to do it
 
Keep 10-20g in a separate jar. If you accidentally mess up a feeding, you've got a backup culture. use cool water when fermenting it in summer bc u want to have about the same rise time as winter. Once u have made the starter then keep feeding it with flour and water after it has risen and reached its peak bc it can mkae the bread better.

With the starter i see some people discarding half after a few days and some dont discard any. Do you knkw anything about that?
 
yh i think i did the same bc u throw some away so the starter doesn't get too big and need loads of flour every time you feed it.

Thank you derpy I appreciate the help :peepoLove:

if you discard half you need less flour and you get less risk of a weak starter
u do it to get rid of waste and bacteria
you should always do it in the first 1-2 weeks

oh yh i didnt see the half bit, dont discard half

matters the age of the starter
if its the first few weeks you need to buy for more mature starters that you use often you dont need to and its up to personal choice

Good point, a young starter and an established starter are different

I just started my starter 50g water 50g flour
How much should i discard or add in the upcoming days?

keep 25-50gs of starter a day and discard the rest
feed it once or twice daily for around 10 days and by then it should have doubled in size

Since it's brand new, I'd discard about half before each feed for the first week or two. Then add equal weights of flour and water. It stops the starter getting massive and keeps it well-fed.
 
Update
It has been 18h and my starter has already doubled in size!!:peepoclap:

sourdough starter is my love
 
Help me, its been 18h and its already doubled in size i only started it 18h ago is that good?
It's normal, i think. New starters often have a huge rise in the first 1-3 days. I'd say to keep feeding it normally and don't worry if it suddenly stops rising for a few days afterwards.

1/ For mixing ingredients i use a Girmi Gastronomo Plus IM5001, because i'm not buying a kitchenaid for now, and i'm lazy to mix myself

2/ I bought organic whole wheat flour, Bretagne's black wheat, buckwheat, and rye flour for bread personally. And i add mashed garlic and microwaved salted butter to the mix.
Don't go past 20% in rye and buckwheat because ong it looks like compact ww1 ration bread.

3/ Sometimes i use unflavoured protein powder and more refined wheat flour or chestnut & peas flour if the missus want a pizza, a cake, a tart etc while keeping it "high" in proteins.

4/ For your sourdough starter you need to use corn and rice flour, salt, water and let it ferment. After that you can throw whatever whole flour you can have, as long as you feed it. If you don't, straight to the fridge.

5/ You mix everything, ideally you can go up to 30% of sourdough per kilogram of dry flour, then add water, salt and other ingredients if your have it. Put a cloth on the bowl and let it rest for hours. You can like mix it and folding it time to time.

6/ After that i apply a thin coat of oil on our wood cookstove's cordieritis pizza stone, let a stainless steel mug of water inside the oven to add moisture, fold multiple times and do a knife slice on the top of the dough, and i let it cook. I check time to time until it's done.
Now with summer we don't use the wood cookstove ofc so i preheat a good old cast iron dutch oven and cook it in the butane gaz oven.

7/ If we're honest i think this method is complicated for the average people so i recommend more prepared whole flour mixtures you can find at the flour aisle, who contains already deactivated sourdough, and then you can add rustic baking soda

Oh, i heard your jar should be 3x bigger then your starter so if your starter is 100g i say to be safe and you dont need to transfer it quickly do 500ml
