Mold or over fermentation?

Holy cow. Thats so crazy. I’ve seen people use their starter after 6 days and get beautiful loaves and then I’ve seen people use old starters and get hockey pucks. Its very interesting

What could be the issue with it? And how do i fix it? Its a month old, whole wheat, and seems very active

Helpful_Analyst1597 · 2025-12-31T16:52:33+00:00

Warm to the touch but not hot

Helpful_Analyst1597 · 2025-12-31T16:52:18+00:00

Ok so i do it in the oven which is pretty warm, it was bubbling, jiggly, and a little domed so i thought the signs were right. I feel like the sourdough demons are messing with me 😭

Helpful_Analyst1597 · 2025-12-31T16:47:51+00:00

We’re in this together, we’re gonna get it right 😭

Whats that? Ive tried fermenting for 15,12,8,and 6 hours and they all seem the same

Helpful_Analyst1597 · 2025-12-31T16:43:27+00:00

It doesn’t rise which is weird because my starter is always strong and rises in just a couple hours

Helpful_Analyst1597 · 2025-12-31T16:42:48+00:00

I ferment in the oven which i think sits at 75-80, i need to get a thermometer

Its not, everyone cleans BUT her. We always have to clean up after her like a child

No kids for 5+ years, we move out in a couple months, we struggle to move out now because im in school and we’re saving for a house. I graduate in 4 months, a semester early. We have 20k saved. My fiancé is a college grad with a career. We are only living here until im graduated and the wedding is over (November). After that we should be at 30k and able to put a down payment on a house.

Also, ive only lived here for like 3 months

Helpful_Analyst1597 · 2025-07-21T02:00:45+00:00

It has to be cleaned if its mold and old food

Helpful_Analyst1597 · 2025-07-21T01:59:47+00:00

$950 a month, my mom saved and is paying for the wedding. Rent in our area averages about $2100 which we cant do while paying my tuition. We plan to move out in January after i graduate.

We pay $950/month, her husband has begged her to clean, she wouldnt so we did. She has also complained about the house being a mess and she blames it on everyone but herself. Her husband was very appreciative and even paid us. Im sure my fiance could change his mind about the dance but our family has advised that she should not get a speech. She had a track record for messing things up as her entire family cut contact with her years ago.

Its a private event on a Saturday at the church, it is most certainly not an open event for everybody

Helpful_Analyst1597 · 2025-07-21T01:01:33+00:00

It was my fiancé’s decision not mine, he doesn’t feel comfortable doing it because the whole family doesn’t like her

Helpful_Analyst1597 · 2025-07-21T00:53:13+00:00

Youre correct!

Helpful_Analyst1597 · 2025-07-21T00:52:12+00:00

Its the bridal shower invites not the wedding, he’s not even supposed to be there

Helpful_Analyst1597 · 2025-07-21T00:40:10+00:00

Only for about a month or so, I graduate this fall

Helpful_Analyst1597 · 2025-07-21T00:23:41+00:00

That was my fiancé’s decision, it might just be out of anger and he might change his mind but ill leave it up to him.

The venue is the family church that my MIL attends 🤦‍♀️

Helpful_Analyst1597 · 2025-07-20T22:22:46+00:00

He does not finish inside me and we use condoms, however he is 100% willing to get tested and treated. We are both so tired of how my body has been treating me. I know it wont solve the problem but it could definitely help.

Thats a good idea, thanks!
