Starter Timing
Hello Bread Experts,
I am new to this sight and I read a lot of supportive comments from nice people. I feed my starter once a day. It looks healthy and has around a 24 hour life span (start level, maximum level, and re-feed level.) At what stage of the starter's daily life is the best time to make levian? Some say it does not matter , but maybe it matters a little. I am trying to keep my sourdough less "vinegary" I don't mind feeding starter 2 or 3 times a day before baking. I use bread flour and whole wheat, following the Chad Robertson recipe. I have had some successes but I need to improve. I mail my bread USPS Priority mail to my Dad and it stays fresh a long time.
