How many feeds to use different %
I was playing with my 100% starter and made a 60% for the jmonkey pizza (my 100% 20g, 12g water and 20g flour). That was 12 hours ago. It has pretty much tripled, if not more. I'd like to mix up the dough now so it's ready for tomorrow. Now I know I've read you're supposed to discard/feed a few times but I wondered why. Will the flavour be lacking if I don't? Will it just not rise properly? The rising isn't so much a problem with pizza of course...but while I was playing I also made a 125% for my JH vermont sourdough. I have little containers all lined up on the counter with stickers and taped measurements on them, my husband just walks through shaking his head...........
