Sourdough Starter Day 2

Well, I couldn’t wait 24 hours as patience is not a virtue of mine. And plus my sourdough starter looks like it was ready for its first feed.
As you can see there has been a light brown liquid appear on top of the mixture. I did some research on this and it turns out that it is called ‘hooch’. Its basically alcohol, but I wouldn’t fancy drinking it. Apparently, the arrival of the hooch is an indicator that my sourdough starter needs feeding.
Preparing to feed my sourdough starter…
Feeding looks simple. All you need is:
- ½ Cup flour
- ½ Cup water
I added them to the starter and mixed…
Then I put in the cupboard until its next feed tomorrow. I hope though that it doesn’t get too hungry, as I may need a bigger jar!
