Since 2016
I've always liked baking. I had started baking sourdough a year prior and fell out of it, probably due to not getting the results I wanted. This time around, I found online communities to be helpful and bought more books to help me along the process. I love cooking and creating new things. And I'm somewhat of a purist and perfectionist. If I'm going to make bread, might as well make the real thing
Characteristics
My starter makes breads that are not too sour but get a nice rise to them. The crumb is custardy and light with nice, even holes.

Discard some starter (eyeball amounts) and then add equal amounts of flour and water. Mix until combined.

Usually feed again in the same way before building a preferment for baking.

Working method
1
When I feed my starter, I usually discard some of it (eyeball amounts) and then add equal amounts of flour and water. Usually I use AP flour, but sometimes I add in rye or half white bread flour. Mix until combined and usually feed again later in the day before using the starter to ferment my dough or build a preferment.
