Video Not Working? Fix It Now

This video is geared towards the baker who is interested in boosting the activity of their sourdough starter. Every starter culture is different, and there are many kinds of feeding schemes that can work (see towards the end of the video where I show how a 2x/day feed schedule can work as well as a 3x/day feed schedule). It's all about monitoring your starter's behavior and feeding accordingly. In addition to showing how I reactivate my starter after a 2-3 week spell in the refrigerator, I’ll also show you my regular feeding regimen, as well as how I build my levain on a bake day.
