My sourdough starter has been doubling in size each day since day 6, it’s now day 13 and I’m hoping to make my first loaf this weekend. Does it look ready to you? How can one tell? It smells almost fruity?
Newbie here! Day 7 of my sourdough starter. It looks really happy! I got a false rise on day 2 and then nothing until yesterday (Day 6) it had doubled in size. Today is Day 7 and it has doubled in size again. It has a slight beer-like smell to it, but otherwise seems really happy. Should I just continue feeding once a day? Also, I had to book a last minute trip this weekend and not sure what to do once it is active? Should I just put it in the fridge and not feed it until I’m back home and ready to make bread?
Thanks in advance!!
