Best moment to harvest from established sourdough starter?
A bit of a noobie question but I am wondering what the optimal time is to take material from an established starter. If I feed my starter in the morning, by noon it has doubled and sometimes continues increasing for another hour or two. Then it will begin to slowly reduce in volume. Is it optimal to collect material when it hits the absolute peak or wait until it settles down again? Any thoughts? Thanks!
