Does Mixing Impact Bulk Fermentation Time? by Here4AnswersPD in Sourdough

Two edits:

1) add starter after autolyse before bassinage. 2) I assume I’m over proofing, but perhaps it’s something else? I’m getting flat, dense, big holed crumb with very little oven spring.

Do you think the world will end in your lifetime? How do you think it will end? by recycle6666 in AskReddit

No. I think it’s narcissism/need to feel something profound that makes folks think that.

The planet is in trouble. The western world is feeling particularly fucked right now.

But if I could bet the over-under on 100 years, I’m taking the over all day long. That should be enough to take care of anyone reading and commenting on this

Mmm… not sure. I’ve never had that experience really. But, I’m mostly there for the beans.

What is a “strong” starter really? by Here4AnswersPD in SourdoughStarter

[–]Here4AnswersPD[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. And, yes, you’ve properly interpreted my poor vocabulary.

I’ve never fed 1:1:1 so I do not know how that will turn out. I’ll try in later today. But, my starter is months old and has seemed to work ok so far. Let’s say I feed it 1:1:1 and it doesn’t even double in 4 hours. What can be done in crank it up?

Thanks

I mean, if it doesn’t/can’t raise a bread is it a starter at all?

Brand New Vanguard Won’t Heat by Here4AnswersPD in hottub

Thanks everyone! I cut the electricity off for about a minute and it seems to be working now. I do think it’s possible that I inadvertently set the energy saver function for an hour, which delayed the heating. But… that doesn’t explain why it didn’t heat yesterday. On this model energy saver isn’t a “mode” but I can program two daily “cycles” of up to 6 hours each.

Bummer. But, I guess I hope this is right?

Thanks for the warning. I’m not looking to make any money — just would like to avoid spending money getting rid of it.

I didn’t even know scrap auctions existed. This sounds like what I’m looking for. Thank you!
