Help!! 7 day starter has quadrupled!
Please tell me what I should do next. Last fed was about 6 hours ago, still on 1:1:1 ratio. Today is the first day it has quadrupled, and is still at "peak" levels. Should I go 1:2:2 next? Smells nice and tangy. Actually have used some of the day 6 "discard" to do a country sourdough tomorrow..is being proofed at room temperature now, and will go to the fridge for about 14 hours. Will report how it turns out. I thought my fingers especially my thumbs were going to cramp doing the stretching and folding a la Richard Bertinet. It didn't take 15 minutes, took me 30 minutes at least, had to rest in between!
Thanks in advance for your valuable tips!
