Difference in bubble size in starter?
What do the bubble sizes tell you?
My starter info;
Feed it everyday in the morning.
Keep it in the basement, average temp 66 degrees during winter and 74 degrees during summer. (Pittsburgh PA.)
Feed it 50/50 mix of Whole wheat and All purpose.
I keep a small amount, about 50 grams.
Question;
About 3 hours after I feed it small bubbles (the size of a period at the end of a sentence) appear. Some on the top but mostly on the sides of container.
About 12 hours after I feed it the bubbles are the size of a zero on the keyboard, and they are on the sides of container and on top.....................this is when I use the starter to make a leaven? Is this the right time?
