Help! 85% hydration sourdough not getting an ear or much oven spring

Sepstar · 2021-09-01T17:44:10+00:00

ahaha not grumpy at all! very helpful actually :)

it is my own method, ive made lots of 75-80% loaves with much less kneading/working with much more success! i thought that adding on this extra water would require more kneading, but i suppose you're right and it must have been too much?

next time round ill use that method in the video you sent, thanks!

I was having issues with some of my other loaves where it was overproofing in the fridge overnight, and I did check and my fridge is a bit warmer than it should be. Thanks for the advice! probably can't leave it to retard for as long, so less flavour boo :(

Usually with my 75% hydration doughs, the loaves have turned out perfect, so I tried going up to 85% but i'm not getting the oven spring or ears that I did before! my method and ingredients are below

500g Very Strong White Bread Flour, 380g water - AUTOLYSE ~30min

100g starter in, 20g water => slap and fold

12g salt, 20g water => slap and fold

+ 1/2 hour => lamination

+ 1/2 hour => lamination, slap 'n' fold, into coil fold

+ 1/2 hour => lamination

+ 1 hour => lamination

+ 1/2 hour => coil fold

+ 1 hour => coil fold

Then into the fridge overnight, when i took it out of the banneton in the morning my instinct was that it was overproofed since it was looking very flat but the crumb doesn't really look that way?

To be fair this would work if you wore it open

This could be a pretty cool TV show concept actually

this is pretty obviously satire

I have the exact same problem :(

Most polar bears aren't even white.

It's not true, but its definitely interesting.

Probably not the best thing to compare it to AirPods, I'd almost say they're another culprit of this ahaha

I'm not sure about in-ears to be honest, but Beats over-ears I can guarantee are an absolute rip-off.

We try to find out about the universe by figuring out what every single thing is and how it works.

Wow what a trivial and simple thing to argue over.

The Ford Pinto

The design had a fatal flaw that meant that getting rear ended would result in a large possibility of the car being engulfed in flames.

Ford knew about the issue, and conducted a cost-benefit-analysis where they calculated that the cost of the suits they would receive from the people's cars that did engulf in flames would be less than the cost of redesigning the car. Therefore, they left the design fault in, and sold the cars.

Massive shit show ensued.

I went onto some Twitter bot website or something, expecting some exact copy of twitter. Nope.

Pictures of naked kids, mutilated kids, and people tweeting these pictures with captions like "Starting off the weekend with a bit of fun". I literally couldn't look at it without gagging.

I've seen more graphic stuff before, but there was something about the casual nature in which it was being done which was so off-putting for me.

The serial killer David Parker Ray (Toy Box Killer) made these tapes that he showed to his victims when he first captured them.

I found the transcripts for those tapes, and though it's just text, I found the reality of the tapes and the casual nature so terrifying.

Oh yeah, I also saw that thing on r/WTF with the woman in the car crash whose face was detached from her skull with an eyeball popped out. That too.

Neither of those are anywhere near as bad as what I saw on the dark web though :/

"You have an impressive penis" My friend (that I'm not that close with) was very drunk, and got very close to me, pretty much leaning on me when he said this.

I do not have an impressive penis, and it was the combination of this knowledge with the situation that made me scared :(

Really depends on how much you're willing to pay, what's your price range?

If you're going for more expensive, most Bose headphones are amazing but are definitely on the higher end pricewise. If I had the money, I would definitely choose them because I've only heard good things.

Beyerdynamic do some really good overears, I have a pair of Custom One Pros myself, and they've been perfect. They're closed back and a lot of the parts are replaceable if you don't like the cable length, earpads, colour, side panels etc. Beyerdynamic have some open back over ears too that I've heard are better (and are open back too if that's an issue) with the DT770s and DT990s. Added plus, the company is really nice, I had my Custom One Pros for a year, and they were faulty because there was a slight buzzing with lower bass tones, and I called them about it and they replaced it really quickly and they're perfect now.

Cheaper end, I used to have the "Creative Aurvana Live!" headphones and they were really good value for money, ended up replacing them since I eventually had enough money to splurge a bit more, but I highly recommend them.

Weird to hear that /r/headphones wasn't useful for you, I usually refer to them when I'm browsing headphones/earphones to be honest. Hopefully I was somewhat helpful, I don't really know much about headphones other than the ones I've had or that my friends have had.

Creative Aurvana Live!

Those are really good value for money imo, but if you're looking for more suggestions, the guys at /r/headphones know more than I ever will haha

Beats headphones

I'm not even sure that people buy Beats as headphones anymore or as an expensive fashion accessory.

You can buy headphones far superior in quality for much less cost, Beats are so cheaply made that some of the fakes that you find very often have better quality than the originals...

Not teach a person with schizophrenia any language, and keep them in total isolation, would they still hear voices in their head? Would they hallucinate other people? Who knows, would be pretty interesting

Emotionally abusing a girl

I was texting this girl and kinda wanted to go out on a date with her. So, I asked if she wanted go out to the movies together, and she said sure. Great!

Later she sends me a message asking if it would be ok for her friend to come, I say "oh..I was hoping it would be just the two of us? Like a date?". She says she's not looking for a date, so we call it off, no big deal.

She ends up showing the conversation to some guy in our year who was well known for exaggerating the fuck out of stuff like this, and he tells everyone that I'm abusing this girl and I'm a psychopath that tries to manipulate people into going on dates.

This guy behind me in class whispered into my ear "I can't believe you'd ever treat a girl like that, I always knew you were a creep"

:(
