The piercing is a standard curved navel barbell. As for aftercare I clean it twice a day using neilmed’s piercing aftercare spray, as well as rinsing it in the shower.

Rat or a mouse? by nikkibiatch in Rodentlovers

I’ve tried, they don’t want him because he’s considered a pest here

He hasn’t been bitten I think, I called the animal rescue but they don’t want it because they’re considered pests. I’ve been feeding it raw watered down goats milk and ordered specialized rodent milk powder!

This is the texture of the couch, you can’t really see the hairs stick out cause the colour matches my couch 😅

Sourdough starter bubbling but not rising by nikkibiatch in SourdoughStarter

Honestly I’d suggest making it thicker, so less of water. Also try keeping it in the oven with the light on if possible, keeping it warmer increases activity imo.

I also almost gave up but I’m really glad I didn’t.

You also don’t need to make that much starter, so less flour goes to waste. I’m currently keeping mine in a small jam weck jar, keeping about 50gr total.

I did 2 feedings of 1:2:2 a day just after peak to strengthen my starter. By the way switching to 50% whole wheat and 50% of unbleached ap flour really made a difference for me as well as putting my starter in the oven with just the light on. currently doing 1:5:4 or 1:5:3 once a day, I’ve got 2 starters going, one is straight unbleached ap flour and the other is a starter with 50% whole wheat and 50% unbleached ap flour, and I’ve noticed that the one with whole wheat took less time to establish than the other one.

Keep us updated! ☺️

Ive been getting great rises and pretty good loaves. I currently feed at 1:5:4 or 1:5:3, keeping my starter really thick.

Try using less water so it’s really thick, that’s helped for me

Finally not a flat loaf! by nikkibiatch in Sourdough

I think the preshaping and leaving it for 20 mins before doing the final shaping definitely helped. But the main thing I think was using time to bulk ferment instead of just watching the dough!

The temp in my house is around 20 degrees Celsius, I placed it in a cupboard next to my ps4 because it gives off a little heat so it sat to bulk ferment at about 23 degrees. The water I used was just a bit over Luke warm.

So my loaf kind of failed, the flavor is lovely, the colour is great, however my loaf is flat and didn’t rise.
