Thank you so much for the video. It was very interesting. I have just started working with a stiff starter and am still a little scared of it. ❤😊

[@simplybeautifulsourdough8920]

You're very welcome! But why are you scared?

[@lavague7648]

Nice video. What is the maximum rise of your starter? Doubles only or it can, Triple if you give it more time? My stiff starter does not rise more than 200% (doubles) and i wonder if this is normal. Thanks for sharing this.

[@simplybeautifulsourdough8920]

Thank you! 🤎 I really need to make another of these- This one is rough!!!
The stiffer the starter, the lower the % of the rise. This 100% hydration feed would triple or more given time. I've started feeding it at 70-80% (80 in winter) since that is close to the hydration of my dough. It will get to a little over double.

@@simplybeautifulsourdough8920 Thanks a lot.

You would mix your bread now, or refrigerate and mixi in the next three days?

[@simplybeautifulsourdough8920]

Hi Tom! Either way - any time from freshly fed to 3 days old.

Thanks, you have a very good channel

Why is there a green tent in the container?

[@simplybeautifulsourdough8920]

Hi, Michele! I'm wondering if perhaps that is your monitor? 🤔 I can assure you the container is untinted.
