Your Sourdough Starter Can't Read the Clock
By Bubba Goodcrumb · · 35 seconds
Watch your starter, not just the clock. A warm kitchen speeds up its rise; a cool kitchen slows it down. Three sourdough starter maintenance habits make feeding easier to read: 1. Keep the jar clean so bubbles and rise are visible. 2. Stick to one feeding ratio while learning. 3. Watch temperature

HOOK: Keep your starter healthy with three habits: clean jar, clear ratio, consistent temperature.
BEAT 1: Use a clean jar often enough to prevent crusty buildup from confusing what you see. Clear glass helps you read bubbles and rise. [on-screen: Habit 1: clean jar] [b-roll: Transferring starter into a clean glass jar]
BEAT 2: Stick to one feeding ratio while learning. If you change flour, water, and timing all at once, troubleshooting becomes much harder. [on-screen: Habit 2: one ratio] [b-roll: Measuring equal weights on a kitchen scale]
BEAT 3: Temperature controls speed. A warm kitchen makes starter peak faster. A cool kitchen slows it down, so judge by activity, not the clock. [on-screen: Habit 3: watch temperature] [b-roll: Starter beside thermometer, then time-lapse rising]
CTA: Build these habits, and your Bubba Goodcrumb starter becomes easier to understand every week.
