Características
It's a strong sourdough, yielding good fermentation and oven spring. As I use whole wheat flour and ferment at room temperature, it tends to be slightly acidic but fruity. When I make bread, I usually ferment at the fridge (4C) for 12 to 36hs, so it develops a nutty and yeasty flavor.

As I stated above, I feed it at low hydrations. I usually store one batch at the fridge (4C) for 7-10 days, and feed at room temperature (about 23C) every 12 hours to avoid excessive pungency.

When I bake, I usually use a 25-30% of starter and 60-85% water, depending on the type of bread I want to bake.
I usually combine whole wheat flour with bread flour, at different percentages.
