Seems to me that getting it started and maintaining it takes some patience. I've noticed that when starting out people recommend that you use..
Bottled water over tap.
King Arthur flour over all purpose white bleached flour.
When to feed it and how much
Pouring out the hooch, or incorporating back into the starter.
Optimal temps for maintaining it
Now to add one more thing. Might need a scientific approach for this one.
Using a dehydrator for starting the sourdough? Another use for the Excalibur?
Would it even work?
It's just an idea from reading all the sourdough questions, and trying to start my own and watching it turn to mold wasn't my best day. Researching the topic people have their own opinions about it. Just curious to know if anyone here has done it using a dehydrator?
What would take a week or more to perfect to your own tastes. Could be done in half the time if that. Should you do it in the dehydrator that maintains the optimum recommended temps?
Love my Bunn coffee pot to. That's what got me to thinking about using the Ex . Room temps change like the seasons.
Hopefully you guys will chime in with your thoughts and opinions on this. I'm very curious about it.
Thank you
