Working method

This is a stiff starter, that is always in the fridge.
I only feed it every 2-4 weeks and use a bit of the stiff starter to make up a 100% hydration starter at room temperature, about 12 hours before I make the dough

Comments
The sourdough I make has changed in flavour since I started milling my own flour
I have now moved to Mount Tamborine and received some new starters during my stay in The Netherlands, I can't wait to check them out and see if there are any differences in flavour
