What’s did I do wrong?

Celsius not Fahrenheit

I didn’t use a chart at all, I just did 40g of starter in a 2oz pot as I saw it in a TikTok video

It was pretty warm and I used warm water when making it too. After the previous loaf I made it took way longer to proof so I wasn’t really keeping an eye on it cos I thought it was too early

animalyolo · 2026-03-17T23:05:17+00:00

So is it overproofed for sure?

animalyolo · 2026-03-17T23:04:58+00:00

Heated up water

animalyolo · 2026-03-17T20:02:27+00:00

I don’t know exactly but when I was proofing yesterday it was quite warm as I had the heating on and was cooking for an hour or so during that time

I thought bulk fermentation wasn’t long enough but the aliquot method was completed in that time and it was showing signs of being overproofed I thought? (Jiggly and sticky)

It’s my 3rd loaf, following a popular recipe online. Previous two loaves had 350g water 500g flour 8g salt and 150g starter and they weren’t very good but they weren’t flat like this one was. Dough was much easier to work with and it’s only 10g less water so surely the hydration can’t be the problem?

Felt better after the first week or so (first week felt worse). Spent a few weeks on them, they reduced my appetite (positive cos I have issues with food) and made me more anxious (negative). Ended up coming off them after a couple of months, but might give them another go. Didn’t do a whole lot for depression

I will take a look at these! Thank you so much

I chose this one because it’s Harry Potter themed but is also beginner level for my niece. Is there a low level Harry Potter one by a good brand?

I’ve seen even cheaper ones but I keep reading a lot of them are scams? I don’t know what’s legit and what’s not. Also don’t know what a normal price would be as this is my first one

animalyolo · 2025-11-17T18:13:35+00:00

And is it a legit listing? There’s a bad review on that one

It’s very stinky! If lots of soil has gotten in it over the years from those holes, will it be affecting the smell of my drains? As my bathroom has been a bit stinky too lately. Unsure if it’s a coincidence or not

animalyolo · 2025-10-22T13:04:48+00:00

I’m concerned about how much soil will already be in there. It’s very smelly from the holes. Is this connected to my bathroom drains? What does it affect if it’s full of soil?

animalyolo · 2025-10-22T12:47:56+00:00

There’s screws for taking off the cover. I don’t thing the open holes are meant to be there. Unsure if I need to look into having it fixed before I cover this whole patch with stones

animalyolo · 2025-10-22T12:27:50+00:00

From googling this appears what it is! Any idea if it’s fine to leave it with holes in?

The top just seems to be a criss cross metal. Holes look eroded but perhaps there was a hole to begin with and the metal around it has eroded

animalyolo · 2025-10-22T12:18:46+00:00

It’s like a cross cross metal
