old

hiw old is too old for a starter?

Forums:

So I was gonna make a Braided Scali Bread and set up my starter the night before. I never got around to making the bread and I've had this starter sitting on my counter for over a week now. Is it still useable? If so, for what?

Oh, my ingredients for the starter were:

1 c Bread Flour

1tsp Active Yeast

1/2 c water

Thanks for your help!

Starter Terminology

Forums:

Sourdough and Starters

I know this seems a little late but I think we could all benefit if we define these terms in order to remove any confusion surrounding them.

What is a:

new starter
young starter
active starter
fresh starter
old starter
mature starter
ripe starter

Thanks for participating.
