I asked ChatGPT for a funny sourdough name and it did all the pun ones and at the bottom it had Kevin, guess what my sourdough is called?!

Ms Debbie 💗 :
Mine is named Mark. Because of the black pen marks all over the side of the plastic container. Not cute at all. LOL

Amen on discard. I never have enough for discard. I use almost all of it

What ratio do you feed your stiff starter on the counter and the fridge?

I’ve learned so much from you. Thank you for your content from a type B and at selective times a type A person.

well where as I 99% agree. I have to give it a name because then I feel obligated to keep it alive.

meg :
how do you feed your starter once or twice a day without accumulating discard? I bake like once a week

I did name my starter Janice. I don't know why it just felt right.

one month ago I took my refrigerated starter out and gave her 2 feeding a day(5gstarter15gwater25gflour) it looks amazing, I've made 2 loaves with it and my crust came out super dry and hard. My loaves before were good. any ideas? what am I doing wrong?

Didough Belle will bite me if I do not use her name 😅 also I feed more flour than water to a small amount of my mother. And YESSSSS on the low hydration. Hot take: because I use my bread for sandwiches and toasts, I do noooot like a wild crumb. I use low hydration so that my butter and sandwich toppings don’t fall through 😭

I wish I could keep started alive and well. I’ve bought prob 4 starters, feed it, make a few loaves and then forget to feed it, and it gets funky and I have to throw it out. How do people keep it alive without feeding everyday? I think I need to learn to keep it in the fridge

Does rye change the smell of starter??? I recently added it to my started only like 10g per feed and I do a 1:3:3 feed. I’ve noticed the smell has changed more like a tangy fruity smell is that normal?

I just don’t understand the whole thing behind “hydration“. The chemistry and math behind it… I can’t wrap my head around it. What does it mean low hydration? How do I know if my starter is low hydration?

Agree with everything except the name😊. Raymond is a living being in my house thus needs a name😂

Lisa Ward :
Agree on everything you say because you are the Goat 🐐 and have taught me so much. Just ditched my discard jar 🙌🏼Thank goodness for that, crusty bugger! I only do a 1:15:25 and it lives on the counter. Just got me a mixer, praise the lord my arm is so happy 🤣

I named mine Jesus because every morning I'd yell "He has risen!" and it just seemed fitting 😂

Tabatha :
I agree with everything! I maintain a very tiny starter that I feed 1:3:4, I toss that T worth of discard. I use active starter in any recipe that calls for discard. My starter never got named, I call my kids the boy and the girl I can’t name a starter. 😂 I never attempted to master a high hydration loaf. I’m still working on incorporating whole grains, I just don’t know where to start.

where do you get whole grains? does whole wheat count as whole grain?

Country loaf tastes better with whole grains. Period!
