Preparing starter for use?
How many times should I be feeding a starter before using it in a recipe? I have been feeding it twice. I also have been using Bill's method of 1:2:2 starter:flour:water ratio. So if I need 400 gm of starter in a recipe I would do this:
First feeding 16:32:32 = 80 gm
Second feeding 80:160:160 = 400 gm
Does this make any sense or should I be doing something different?
Thanks - Joel
