Sourdough starter maintenance tips
Sourdough starter is a living colony of yeast and good bacteria. Like any living
thing it needs to eat - just flour and water. Feeding your starter the proper ingre-
dients at the right time is the first step in creating great sourdough bread. Using
the precise temperature control of the Sourdough Home, you can adjust starter
feeding times to meet your schedule.
Growth and health of sourdough starter is extremely sensitive to temperature.
Even a few degrees can make the difference between a starter that thrives or
struggles. Before the Sourdough Home, most bakers have been limited to two
temperatures. Room temperature for growth and the refrigerator for storage.
Room temperature can vary greatly from season to season, or day to night,
resulting in unpredictable results. Refrigerator storage is too cold for healthy
starter.
As starter ferments and grows, it creates CO2 bubbles that cause the mixture to
rise in its container. The ideal time to feed starter is when the rise has peaked -
all of its food has been consumed - and before it begins to fall again. By using a
constant seed ratio (quantity of flour and water) and controlling the temperature,
you can control the feeding schedule to hours, days or even a week. Use the
guidelines below to get started.
Seed Ratio: This is the ratio of active culture to fresh flour and water. The more
active culture used, the faster your starter will grow and peak. For daily mainte-
nance a 1:4:4 ratio will keep your starter thriving without growing too fast.
Example: 10 grams of starter : 40 grams of flour : 40 grams of water
(We recommend always WEIGHING your ingredients).
Sourdough Starter Feeding Schedule

Note: Your starter may vary slightly from these results depending on the flour
used and the specifics of your culture.
