Russian sourdough starter help

[Guest guest]

Help!. I am trying to activate the Russian starter and after the

first 24 hours it looked like it had about an inch of bubbles on the

top. But I thought I was supposed to feed it one more time, but I

watched and never saw the bubble as much. Does that mean it is already

activated and I can use it? Does the one to two inch activation only

show once? Thanks for any insight.

Hi Carol.

I know this is a little late, but I am on vacation right now and just

checking my mail.

When I did my starter, I fed it and then let it sit for 12 hours. I

then fed it 3 times the next day, and it was good to go. It should

get bubbly after each feeding, right at around 3 hours. If you are

not watching it right then, you may miss it. Look at the container it

is in and see if there are 'tracks' where the starter bubbled up and

then receeded.

HTH,
