I feel like giving up... Any advice?
I started this on the 1st of April from scratch, though I had it in the fridge for about 20 days since the 17th, with a feeding ratio of 1:10:10.
When I took it out, I started to do a feeding ratio of 1:2:2, with 50% strong white flour and 50% wheat meal flour. I use 25g of starter on every refresh.
I started feeding it peak to peak, but after I saw no progress, I decided to feed it every 24h. It improved a bit, but I've been doing this for at least 2 weeks now, and I don't see it tripling as it did before it went to the fridge.
As you can see in the video, it's over 12 hours, and it hasn't doubled. Yesterday I decided to make it starve a bit, so I waited about 36h for the next feeding, and though it doubled, I found it interesting that it didn't reduce much and still had a lot of bubbles. The smell was a bit more acidic than usual, I have to say.
Maybe some of you recognise where the jar is, it's an X1C 3D printer that I'm using as a fermentation chamber. I have the plate constantly at 23 °C.
I tried to bake a loaf on the 16th of April, and this was the result: https://www.reddit.com/r/Sourdough/comments/1spuk6k/crumb_feeling_wet_for_the_forth_time/
Maybe it's ready, and it's just slow?
Any advice?
