Yes Gert

Before I went to bed last night I transferred my starter to a new bigger jar and fed it 1 large tablespoon of flour and the same of water. Here it is this morning.





I will feed it soon.

This may be a dumb question but does it have to be a glass jar or can you use plastic?

I don't know Den but I feel better about it being in glass.  Mine is going gangbusters.

DD, plastic is fine,  just a bit difficult to sterilise.

I thnk I need 400 gms so not yet.  Maybe I could make a small one. I keep looking at my starter  and sniffing it.

Thanks Chookie. I found a plastic container that would be big enough but I will look for a glass jar.

Mine must have got too cold have chucked it and started again today, I will bring it in each night near the heater vent I think, so jealous Gert ,Wonder does yours have bubbles yet?. 

[gertbysea]

I just got lucky. The temp is 30 here and only goes down to about 17 at night. 

I must look at cookies recipe soon and figure it out. 

I have a great ciabatta recipe which is like a sour dough too only you just leave the starter overnight not for days and days..

But for the good of the forum I will do exactly as chookie instructs so I WILL need  400 gms. Don't think I am there yet. Should have bought two large jars or at least I should have weighed it before I put the flour in.
