Is is possible for starter to rise too fast?
My indoor/outdoor starters that are my starter experiment finally started rising today, Day 7. (Details are here: http://www.thefreshloaf.com/blog/t4tigger [1] )
I fed both at 4:30 this afternoon. By 6:30, Thing 1 (indoor) was already doubled and knocking on the jar lid begging to be allowed to roam about the kitchen freely. I know that the starters are still young and I probably don't have enough good lb's in there yet, but is this fast a rise an indication of a starter with a Type A personality or something evil lurking deep inside the jar?
I think I'm going to put it in a bigger jar tonight and lock the cupboard door so I don't have to sleep with one eye open!
