Yeast Water Preferment Question
Stiff Yeast Water Preferment is full of bubbles but has hardly risen. Which is confusing! If this was a sourdough starter it'll have tripled by now. This doesn't even have a dome. I've done this recipe before and admittedly the yeast water hasn't been refreshed in a long time but the raisins are still floating which is a good indicator it's still fine.
Do I proceed with the recipe?

It's speeding up! Carole just messaged me and she was right. The temperature might have been too low through the night. It's now hour 15 and it's got many more bubbles, starting to rise more and smells good. I'm forging ahead.
The cavalry always shows up :-D
Thought I might have to abandon it. Which would have been disappointing. We welcome the cavalry with open arms.
happy bunnies!
Hop along, now.
especially if it has been sitting the fridge for months on end like mine:-( Glad it worked out ......78 - 82 F is the perfect temperature for YW since it only has yeast in it.
