Why 90% of Home Bakers Kill Their Sourdough Starter (And How to Fix It)
If your sourdough starter has ever turned into a gray, smelly mess — you're not alone.
Most home bakers fail at starter maintenance for three reasons:
Wrong hydration ratio — they eyeball flour and water instead of weighing, so their starter is never truly at 100% hydration
Inconsistent feeding schedule — skipping days, feeding at random times, or not adjusting for room temperature
Panic decisions — pouring out hooch, adding sugar, or starting over when the fix was simple
I've coached hundreds of bakers through these exact problems, and the solution is always the same: a system.
