@brynn_ann: SOURDOUGH 101: How Much Starter Should You Discard When Feeding? Instead of asking “How much starter should I discard?” ask yourself “How much starter do I want to KEEP to feed?” Whatever is left over after you feed your starter is what you discard. 📌 2 REASONS WE DISCARD: 1️⃣ To keep your starter small and manageable. If you never discard, your starter will continue growing, needing more and more flour to feed. Eventually you’ll end up with a massive jar of starter that’s messy, expensive and hard to manage. 2️⃣ To keep your starter balanced and properly fed ✨ EXAMPLE: If you want to feed with a 1:5:5 ratio… You could keep 10g of starter and add 50g flour + 50g water. Whatever starter you didn’t keep is what you discard. #sourdough #sourdoughstarter #sourdoughbread #sourdoughtips #sourdoughforbeginners
