@therealsourdoughmom: Replying to @Crystal Hawkins If you think you may have killed your starter, or you’re wanting to know how to keep it alive, this should help!🥰🌾 #sourdoughstarter #sourdoughforbeginners #sourdoughtok
I have the Ballerina Farm starter and I’m on about day 8 now. I’m feeding it 125 grams water and 140 grams flour (whole wheat and bread flour) with 30 grams of the starter it’s not rising well

My starter is not completely doubling, but it is rising. I started it maybe 2 weeks or more ago. Is that normal? Does it mean it’s not ready?

12 days and it rises but takes almost 24 hours to rise about and inch or inch and a half above my line. Doesn’t fall ever. How can I get it to rise and fall. Temp is good

Mine is still not rising and falling and is still a thin consistency. I even feed it daily. and has developed hooch also. Do I discard any? How much should I be adding to flour/water ratio

I feel like mine dies every time I have to discard part of it for any reason. I’ve never even gotten to make bread. No mold but. It’ll rise once, then I’ll discard, feed it, and it never rises after.

my starter is doing everything you describe but it doesn't float in the water, it's resting now. I haven't tried to bake it yet. 🤷♀️
