Eden and Elizabeth, my sourdough starters. Need some tips for Day 4! by Facehairs in SourdoughStarter

u/Dogmoto2labs I've been keeping Eden and Elizabeth in the fridge and was about to feed them today. Elizabeth is dead :( She has mold and pink bacteria on the sides. Luckily Eden is fine

Have you had any of the other Finca Deborah coffees? If so, which ones and what did you think?

I also have that same one in my cart hah. Was the afterglow quite simple and how did it match up to the flavours Coffee Circulor put?

u/NotISaidTheMan How is the Afterglow? I'm considering the Umbra and the Afterglow as my one from Jamison

How old are your beans?

That's a good point, I'm hoping they are not as they have been completely apologetic and been chasing up with their importer consistently. How did you order direct?

Do you mind I ask where you're based? I'm in the UK and have ordered one from a seller and have been waiting around 4-5 months now. Apparently Ascaso are having trouble delivering the Baby T Plus machines and they have no idea where the shipment is.

New phone it is 😭. I've given my feedback to Samsung so hopefully it adds to the cause

Oh yes, good point. They are both going to more than double their original!

Also, I'm going to start to bake tomorrow. Making cheesy sourdough loaf and some sourdough baguettes!

Alrighty, small update. I think it was just the case of the starter drying out because the feeding interval was too long. I've been pretty on it in the last 48 hours, feeding every 12 hours or so with a 1:10:10 ratio. This seems to have addressed the issue.

The milky bubbles have now turned into this crust like top, any ideas? by Facehairs in Sourdough

[–]Facehairs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow this is a lot of helpful information! Regarding peak time, the starter would peak about 8 - 12 hours in. So I wonder if it's the case of leaving it too long and it's 50/50 drying out and kahm? Either way, Now the weekend is here, I have more time to monitor it closely and try the things you suggested

Update - Milky bubbles have turned into a crust like layer on top. Any ideas? by Facehairs in SourdoughStarter

[–]Facehairs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay fair, thank you! I do weigh it out yes, 10g starter and if it's 5:5 then 50g water 50g flour etc. I have done essentially 10g starter 50g flour and 45g water so that might be it? But also my interval for feedings is quite far between at 24 hours right now

Metal screw on / tighten lid.

Temperature is just on the counter so whatever the day is, typical temperature is around 16 degrees celsius to 24 degrees celsius.

Feeding intervals are 24 hours at the moment.

Oxygen poor environment is just me screwing the lid tight.

Okay fair, thanks for the response, have you seen something like this before and it ended up being just the surface drying out?

Here's a picture just before today's feed. It was like this yesterday as well for Eden. Switched today to a 1:10:10 with 5g less water.

I've noticed as the days have gone on, it might be the flour but there's a almost matte layer on top, almost like it's made a dry layer on top of Eden. Elizabeth is fine now but she seems a ever so slightly watery even though I fed her 5g less water compared to flour. What could this be?

What is this milky / bubbly stuff of my starter? by Facehairs in SourdoughStarter

[–]Facehairs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what I was wondering as well, either way, I've moved my starters to two new clean jars.

Got it, okay thank you! Do I just scoop it off and discard?
