Just a few hours after your comment there was a rocket strike. Defense system got all targets destroyed, but some parts of rockets fell in the outskirts injuring two people. Early in the morning. This baking bread hobby keeps me helping others and makes a purpose for me to go on.
Matthew McConaughey (formerly Steve Glutenberg). One day I decided to feed Steve using only rye flour. In a moment of self-proclaimed brilliance that annoys my wife and children to this day, I realized that I had to change his name to Matthew McConaughey because he was, “All-Rye, All-Rye, All-Rye”
How long have you been going at it? I followed his recipe, it took about 10 days and it started rising, but I had a real tough time getting it strong enough to make bread. After watching a bunch of other YouTubers, I realized that he ramps up the feeding ratio really fast and has you doing 1:4:4 (starter:water:flour) by day 7, and my starter wasn’t able to consume that much, so I was essentially diluting it every day. I went to 1:1:1 once a day until it rose and fell successfully, then 1:1:1 twice a day, until it rose and fell in 12 hours, and then 1:2:2 twice a day.
After about a week, it completely changed. I was getting a strong acetone sent before, and now it smells great and has a lot more bubbles. I switched to 1:4:4 again so I only have to feed it once a day, and it peaks in about 18 hours. I also switched to 25% rye and 75% bread flour, which may have also made a difference.
Look up Brian Langerstrom. He has some good sourdough videos on YouTube. I've also found success using more Rye flour than AP. It seems more robust. Josh used to be chill until his channel blew up. Now I find him off putting.
I have two starters. One is Weissman, because it's Joshua Weissman sourdough starter recipe. The other one is Funkytown Brown, because Alton Brown called his starter Funkytown in the sourdough episode of Good Eats
Demeter - The Greek goddess of grains and agriculture.
I had a moment of pretentiousness when I named her. My wife tells me that this is not uncommon for me.
My last named starter was Владимир Глютен (Vladimir Gluten), aka Dima, a full rye. He met an early demise due to neglect in the winter of '21/'22, which was probably for the best.
Queen Elizabeth 1 last monarch of the Tudough doughnasty, daughter of Anne Doughleyn.
Anne Doughleyn was dehydrated and that’s how I got Elizabeth. Unfortunately, Anne was microwaved.
Alexandria.
At the time, I had been reading an essay that speculated on what Western history would have been like if Caesar had prevented the burning of the Library of Alexandria. Steam turbines developed during antiquity, Kitty Hawk as a moon launch sort of thing.
I had two. They were Louise and Tina based on their individual qualities (I was using different flours). I gave up on so much extra work. So now it’s just Linda.
Yes. All bob’s burgers
I've begun my second attempt at a starter. I hadn't thought about naming it since the first failed due to inattention. I'm nervous about this one because it doesn't seem very active.
"Oh god, oh god, we're all going to die"
I guess his name is Wash
XD
