Omg you answered my long question 😂 I’m pleased to say I have my starter figured out and it’s alive and well now!!❤ You are so sweet! Thank you for this video!! I absolutely love how you present your knowledge of sourdough!
Pink mold you need to throw the whole thing out, don't even try to save any of it. But the regular like blue/green/gray mold you can salvage some clean bits. A tip to see if it's at peak rise, put a rubberband or string around the jar at the level it's at when it's not active (just before you discard & feed), then watch for when it reaches double the rubber band height!
I have always wanted to have my own starter as the woman who babysat me had one and made the BEST sourdough bread. Thank you for this recipe! I can’t wait to try it! ❤
I am getting quite frustrated with my sourdough progress - first one I followed another RUclips bakers tutorial and it was kinda meh (it was 10 days and very little activity) until my husband accidentally turned the oven on with the starter in it 😅 I tried saving it but it wasn’t doing anything after that. So I tried again, following different instructions and using rye flower instead of whole wheat. That one almost tripled the first night but after that nothing, and now I had to throw it away after a week, because of mold 🙃 so far it’s been weird hobby of wasting flour and time and still no bread. I’m trying to do more research now to hopefully figure out what I can do better, although I’ve been following all the instructions to the t so idk what more I can do. It definitely is working on my patience lol
If it’s strong and active before you put it in the fridge, it should be fine! I would feed it just before putting it in the fridge. You *may* need to feed it and keep it at room temperature for a few days when you get back to revive it, but you may find that it wakes right back up!

Good video.
I've got a gallon going to share with people this week, I can't wait to get "potato" under control. lol
Great video.
I just started looking, but I’ve found lots of no-discard recipes on RUclips for making sourdough starter. Have you tried any of them?
Thank you for your video 🤍 I have a question what is the size of the jars 🫙 that you use more? I’m starting to make sourdough.
I use a wide mouth mason jar the most, and the Weck jars that I use are the 742, 900, and 745, I believe?
Do you know if my starter will be okay in the fridge if I’m away for 2 1/2 weeks?
