Equipment

  • Digital Scales
  • Jar

Ingredients
  

  • 500 g All Purpose Flour
  • 500 g Water

Instructions
 

  • Pour off as much of the dark hooch as you can.
  • Discard most of the starter (you can either just remove it from the jar or place some of the starter into a clean jar).
  • Feed the remaining starter with 100g of flour and 100g of water. Let it sit out at room temp for around 12 hours.
  • Take 50g of starter from the jar and feed it another 100g of flour and 100g of water. Leave the starter for around 12 hours.
  • After this second feeding it should double. If it does then it's ready to use.
    If it doesn't, repeat step 4 every 12 hours until it does.
