Starter advice
Hi!! So my starter is about 18 days old. For background I’ve been using AP flour and whole wheat flour. I’ve also purchased a warming plate I keep on 76 because my husband tries to kill Vincent VanDough and had the kitchen at 64 degrees. I’ve been discarding daily and feeding at 25g starter/25 ap flour/5g whole wheat/25 water. I found mine was VERY watery initially thus the extra flour and the consistency has been great.
I honestly just want to know how I’m doing. I had a huge false rise day 3 (as expected) then nothing (and I mean NOTHIN) until about day 14. I’ve been super consistent but I still don’t really think he’s doubling. I think he’s coming close but I’d love some other opinions.
First photo is this morning at 5:30am. Second is 11:30 am. He was fed last night at 9:30. I’d say he peaked right around noon taking a whopping 14-15 hours. Is that behind? Anything I can or should do better to try to make it go quicker/more efficient? I don’t want to rush it but also don’t want to lengthen the process. Thanks in advance!
