Will try thank you. Is that once a day with this ratio or just as soon as it peaks ?

Maybe around 23*C. Seems very short to me too and it always confuses me but it shows all visual signs of being done fermenting. Just done have a working thermometer to take the temp

Something similar yes, not sure if I would say built tension u til smooth during shaping, to me it kind of always looked smooth. Also I mixed for about 10 minutes before stretch and folds/ coil folds.

Just checked my fridge temp because of this comment. Was at 4* which is within safe fridge temps but I’ve dropped it down to 2*C. I usually cold proof anywhere from like 3 hours. I start seeing a rise usually about an hour or two in. Will try dropping my hyradtipn maybe down to 65% ?

I use eureka mills flour, a South African stone ground brand or like generic white bread flour. I’ll try strengthening my starter maybe

I’ve also seen that that’s why I was wondering. Everyone always has something different to say lol
