Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

If your starter gets mouldy on top during getting this going, stir every couple of hours during the 12h waits

If you want to skip the awful smelling phase, use some citrus for the first few days. Pineapple juice works, recently did one with orange juice. Gets the ph low enough so lactobacillus can thrive. Gave it an extra week to build some strength before baking and yeah, works great.

I just did equal mass of juice and flour, prefer 100% rye or whole wheat to start, 50g each, add more ap flour after it's established.
