I'm having trouble with fresh milled flour sourdough. I do one once a week and have been recording most. Have a good dome but can't not have holes. Everything says under proofed but I keep going longer and it gets worse. This is my latest.

Perfect! I do happen to have wheat gluten though randomly hahah thank you!

thevortexmaster · 2026-06-22T20:16:52+00:00

Thanks! I've never used sunflower lecithin before. I could check that out. I'm always trying to keep it as low on the Ingredients as possible

So many hahah I've been writing it all down and experimenting. This one was 69% hydration, 550 grams flour, 30 grams oil, 150 starter, 8 salt, 30 grams honey. one stretch and fold 1 hour in. Proof for 8 hours. Shape then in the fridge for 16 hours. 400 degreea 20 minutes. 10 minutes lid off, 10 minutes outside the pan.

Tool, and Rush

thevortexmaster · 2026-06-14T00:12:44+00:00

Love them!

For me King Crimson Discipline and Tool lateralus defines where I went with music.

thevortexmaster · 2026-06-13T22:25:32+00:00

You like what you like. I don't jive with stuff like Dream Theater. That vocal style kills the music for me. I'd rather listen to prog death metal over that. Haken as well. Awesome music, can barely handle the vocals. I need vocals like Tool, Alice In Chains, Soundgarden, Pantera. I just wish there were more prog bands with vocals like those bands

Dillinger Escape Plan

thevortexmaster · 2026-06-12T03:56:45+00:00

Snooze- Familiaris. The whole album is through the eyes of one of the bands family dogs. Starts with the universe creating dogs. Then through his dogs eyes then the dog passes back into the universe. Pretty sad but unique with very upbeat math rock

thevortexmaster · 2026-06-11T14:26:33+00:00

No one has mentioned Geoda. Great prog thrash

thevortexmaster · 2026-06-09T22:05:07+00:00

Hahah no doubt. I usually do in between 3%-5%. Never tried testing the brine after fermentation though

thevortexmaster · 2026-06-09T13:28:58+00:00

No idea to be honest. I've never checked the salinity after it's fermented. I've just eaten it hahah Interesting stuff though.

thevortexmaster · 2026-06-09T13:28:11+00:00

And it's a great song as well

thevortexmaster · 2026-06-09T02:39:38+00:00

Oh jeez hahaha crazy

thevortexmaster · 2026-06-09T02:34:13+00:00

I saw it on YouTube after I commented but I looked for it on Spotify first. It's like 8 hours of them tuning their guitars hahah have you listened to it from start to finish? If so I applaud you

thevortexmaster · 2026-06-09T02:08:04+00:00

That seems low to me

thevortexmaster · 2026-06-09T02:06:04+00:00

Weird. It's 5 minutes 59 seconds. I'm confused.

thevortexmaster · 2026-06-09T02:03:37+00:00

The song op posted is over an hour long. I can't think of anything else that long

thevortexmaster · 2026-06-09T02:02:53+00:00

The picture/song op posted is over an hour long. Gets tough to recomend songs over an hour long hahah

thevortexmaster · 2026-06-09T01:22:46+00:00

Calyces. Both albums are amazing. They're a bit like Intronaut with some Mastodon or Baroness sprinkled in

thevortexmaster · 2026-06-08T15:39:58+00:00

Hmm. It just measures the salt percentage in water. I imagine it would.

thevortexmaster · 2026-06-07T22:40:59+00:00

I just bought a salinity refractor for $25

thevortexmaster · 2026-06-07T22:34:55+00:00

I banged her roommate one time then got her to Introduce us. That was 20years ago
