Here are the 3 i use. All have their own flavor profile and flour they like best to feed on.
Starters are only flour and water. No salt or yeast like a poolish pre ferment.
I just fed each one so there is no activity yet. They will show activity in 4-8 hours. All are kept in my proofer at 78*
I name each one.
Starting on the right is Bigfoot
Middle is Yeti
Left in Alien
Big foot is the oldest and more mature starter. Around 4.5 months old.
Bigfoot likes king arthur AP flour.
No need to worry about changing jars every time you feed, the starter in the walls of the jar add to the flavor, just discard, mix new flour and some filtered or bottled water.
Your looking for a thick pancake batter. Just use a spatula and swipe down the starter from the inside down.
Next is Yeti
Yeti likes king arthur bread flour. Same as above when mixing. Yeti gets a clear wrap on top as im trying to get wild yeast in it
Final is Alien
Alien likes gold medal unbleached ap. This is yukon territory style starter. Alien is only 6 days old and is collecting wild yeast real good.
Cant use for another 5-8 days.
