These are all very fundamental questions but I want to be sure of a sound foundation and I would appreciate any comments. My starter is 100% hydration AP flour, about 6 months old and behaving well. Room temp would be roughly 65-70F. Driver Nvidia Model P5612 here.

Starter = Mother? I think that's obvious, but I've never asked the question. Diario Di Una Schizofrenica Libro Pdf Jagger.

The terms are apparently used interchangeably and not necessarily together. I just wanna make sure. When I feed my starter/mother, (1:1:1 starter, flour, water) then that is my first build? I let it rise to about 150% and then I can pour off, reserve and refrigirate my 'fed' starter.

The remainder is my first build levain? Repeat the same for the second and third builds? If I were to feed it 1: 0.5: 0.5 (trying to control volume but maintaining 100% hydration) other than a quicker rise time (I'm assuming), are there any other considerations flavor or behavior-wise? If I were adding my sifted bran (home-milled) to the levain, when would I do that? For how long? Should that be a seperate levain or is it just in the mix, so to speak?

Should I be rising my levain to 150% or 300% or somewhere else? How do these dynamics affect creating a more or a less sour dough? Thanks in advance, very much. Adaptador Usb Wifi Chipset Atheros. Dobie, I am just getting my feet wet with starters, so this may be the blind leading the blind.

I think Reinhart refers to the mother as the main batch from which you build the starter that you will use to make your loaves, though I think others use the terms interchangeably. The only help I can give you on flavor is that the greater the amount of starter in your loaf, the less sour it will be.

So if you used 30% starter, it would double in volume fairly quickly. If you used 15% starter, it would take much longer, and as a result, would have more of a sour tang. • or to post comments.
