I've created a monster!
Well, I made a huge miscalculation when building my starter for Thursday night's bake. I was planning on quadrupling the Vermont Sourdough recipe, but instead of ending up with around 1300 grams tomorrow night, I have 1600 grams tonight! I was just going on autopilot, doubling twice a day, and now... well, I'm not sure what I'm going to do.
My plan was to bake 24 hours from now. I really don't want to throw out over 800 grams of starter, but there's no way I can continue to feed this monster. I wonder if it would be OK to skip the morning feeding and just use the entire 1600 grams tomorrow night.
Any thoughts on this?
I guess I could always make 16 loaves of bread! Time to buy more flour!
