Day 4-  Pour 50g of the starter into a clean jar and feed it 50 grams flour and 50 grams water. Discard the rest.

The discard starter can be saved in a seperate jar to use in discard recipes!

 By day 3 or 4, your starter might be bubbling and have a slightly sour smell. A rubber band around the jar will show if it has risen.

Days 5-10: each day pour 50g of the starter into a fresh jar and feed it 50 grams flour and 50 grams water. Discard the rest.

If your starter is doubling easily by day 6 or 7, within 6 hours of feeding, you can start feeding it  twice daily. By day 10 your starter might be ready to use!
