Converting starter
Hello everyone
I've got a question on converting an active starter to a different type of flour.
Currently I feed at a ratio of 1:5:3 and would like to switch to say AP or spelt flour. My WW starter is always on the counter. Can I just give it the same feeding with the new flour or do I have to build slowly. I ask this question because since the inoculation 10g will have lots of beasties woukldnt it starve if I give it a 1:2:1.5? Since I am hooked to a firm starter does feeding a new flour mean I have to go wetter for a few feedings ?
Any advice appreciated
Thanks
