How to Calculate Sourdough Starter Feeding

Formula

Flour = Starter Weight x Ratio

Water = Starter Weight x Ratio

Total = Starter + Flour + Water

The feed ratio (starter : flour : water) controls how quickly the starter reaches its peak. A 1:1:1 ratio peaks in about 4 hours at 75°F. Higher ratios like 1:5:5 take longer but produce a more mellow, less acidic flavor.

Temperature Effect

Warmer environments speed fermentation. At 85°F a 1:1:1 feed may peak in 3 hours; at 65°F it may take 6 hours.

Ejemplo Resuelto

50 g of starter with a 1:2:2 feed ratio at 75°F.

  1. Flour = 50 x 2 = 100 g
  2. Water = 50 x 2 = 100 g
  3. Total = 50 + 100 + 100 = 250 g
  4. Peak time = (75/75) x 6 = 6 hours
