Progress!
We had some progress today (we being the starter and I)
#2 - I had evidence of rising! I just feed again but there were lines on sides of the container where it looks like it rose. I will keep an eye on it throughout the day but if those lines are correct (and they weren't there before) then we have doubling!
#3 - Same as #2 on the progress.
I am now feeding to double the starter by weight. 50g starter, 25g white flour, 25g water. The water is a little above room temperature, I let it run over my wrist and it is cool neutral in feeling.
#4 - This was a rye start and got its first flour feeding today. I did 50g starter, water and while flour. Next feeding I will start the doubling process.
#5 - Since this one is on a different schedule it will get fed tonight. I did open it and it has activity, puffed and bubbling but not likely doubled. It does have quite the foul smell in it, which I was told to expect. I will stay on the schedule for this one that was laid out, primarily to see how well it works.
I have moved all the containers again. The server was only 71-72F degrees. I moved them to the TV cabinet in the bedroom which is running a nice 80F. They seem much happier in there. We shall see, if I need to cool it down a tad I could crack the door.
