How to feed
My starter is ca 10 days old. I keep it in my oven with the light on, so it's in an environment between 71-77 degrees. I fed it avery 12 hours at a ratio of 1:1:1. Initially it was struggling to develop oomph, and then I came across Mini Oven's suggestion in another thread to feed at a ration of 1:1.5:2 every 24 hours. That did the trick. So I'm getting ready to bake. I found a recipe that asks for 9 oz of starter. My question is this: I currently have 4.5 oz of starter. How do I build this up to 9 oz? Do I keep feeding at the 1:1:5:2 ratio? Or should I use 1:1:1? And over how many days should I build the 9 oz?
