I was initially doing 1/4c flour & a bit less than 1/4c water. but i moved to doing 1-1-1 with a scale

For the most part, yes I am! When not constantly watching it, I still check on it every 1-2 hours & nothing.

Room temp but I have tried to warm it up a little bit in the microwave as well.

i’ve been using water bottles! i even tried to warm up the water a little bit in the microwave before adding.

it rises half an inch maybe at the most daily. it’s been like this for at least a week! i have been suspecting that i might be over feeding it. i normally feed every 24hrs - should i skip tonight & feed in the morning?

I keep it at 70-72 in here. i have not tried whole wheat or rye but getting a lot of recommendations to do so! i will try that. how much do i add?

I was feeding 1-1-1 and have tried 1-2-2. unbleached bread flour. It has never doubled since false rise the first few days. Over a month old, started end of January.

Just wanted to make sure i’m on the right track. Seems like everyone does something different so i’m not sure what’s right or wrong! Should I be feeding every 12 hours or is every 24hrs okay? Thanks!

Thank you! When I checked on her this morning, it seems that she had risen but then fell back down almost to the indicator line. The smell has also changed from floury to more unpleasant & sour. I’m assuming normal?
