starter has risen and now...
i made my very first sourdough starter based on gaarp's tutorial. I started thursday. i had problems in day 3 and onwards, but today, I think I managed to revive it. It did rise, started at 1 cup and it's now up to 2 cups. i refreshed it 2 hours ago. will it get bubbly and frothy in a few hours, and should i leave it on the counter longer?
i didn't know that i had to stir my starter 2 to 3 times a day to aerate it. is this good practice? i won't be using it today or tomorrow, but wanted to know if i should wait a few more hours until it gets frothy and bubbly prior to refrigeration.
thanks much.
