Starter volume
Hi everyone. This is my first post here. I’ve been reading for a while now.
I just got back into making sourdough loafs after a few a few years of not baking much. I’ve made successful loaves for the last four months or so. I typically mix my levain by weight for a final weight of 225g for a 100% hydration starter. I have done this every three or four days in the last four months and typically it is about half of my mason jar. Today I go to mix it by weight the the volume looks about double. Confused if I got distracted and added too much flour or something, I grabbed an empty jar and reweighed my starter. It’s the weight it’s supposed to be, just double the volume.
Anyone have this happen before?
