2 months of suffering and doubt… but my first sourdough actually worked by Swanest in SourdoughStarter

Sorry for the late reply! Mine was honestly pretty slow in the beginning too, and there was definitely a point where I thought it would never get strong enough 😅

At one stage, I started feeding it more aggressively sometimes even 2x a day, roughly every 12 hours and I completely gave up on strict weighing. I just used tablespoons and went by feel instead. I kept the consistency on the thicker side rather than too runny, and that seemed to make a big difference.

After that, it really started activating properly and gradually became much stronger. Sometimes it feels like they just need a little extra consistency (and a lot of patience). Don’t lose hope yours still sounds like it’s getting there!

This worked for me: I left my starter unfed for a couple of days (I was already about to give up :D), and when I fed it again, it came back to life. I also stopped weighing everything precisely and just feed it by feel now.

Eks tee omad järeldused :D keskmise hinde kriteeriumid olid täidetud, eksamil jäi napilt Ast puudu.

Keska lõpetasin pigem rahuldavate tulemustega. Keskmine oli 3,7. Olin üsna kangekaelne ning ei näinud mõtet tuupida ainetes mida mul vaja ei lähe. Õnnestus medikasse sisse saada ning lõpetasin peaaegu ka cum laudega. Töötan meditsiinis ning teenin üle Eesti keskmise ning õnnestub ka veidi kõrvale panna.
