Hydration adjustment in recipe
I recently started a 60% hydration starter due to some problems I have been having with my 100%. It looks like it's coming along great but I had a question regarding recipe adjustments, and I couldn't get a definitive answer using the search. I did find a spreadsheet however, but it's a bit daunting at the moment, and I haven't quite wrapped my head around it yet.
The recipe I have been using calls for 100%, how can I adjust for 60%? Is it as simple as adding more water to the recipe to make up for the loss in water in the starter? Also, should I use less starter than is originally called for?
Thanks,
Ryan
