A detailed guide titled 'The ULTIMATE Sourdough Bulk Fermentation Guide' from The Sourdough Journey, featuring a dough temping chart with approximate timing and target rise percentages for various dough temperatures, along with sections on beginner, intermediate, and advanced skills for fermentation.
Two containers of sourdough dough, one stacked on top of the other, with a blue flour bag in the background. Text overlay states, 'Dough temp chart method work wonders when it comes to the bulk fermentation process.'

Has your sourdough starter peaked?
How to Tell if Your Starter is at Peak 1. Feed When Hungry • Use any ratio, but a heavy feed (like 1:3:3 or higher) makes it easier to test. 2. Watch the Rise • When your starter doubles, stir it down. • Wait and see if it grows again. 3. Interpret the Results

Sourdough Starter Schedule
This is the standard way to start a sourdough starter. I've found using bread flour with a high protein percentage works best and had my starter very strong. Once this process is done. You can either feed it daily or come up with a schedule that works for you. I typically feed mine Sunday night

A guide titled 'Sourdough: for beginners' outlines a 6-day process for creating a sourdough starter, including daily feeding instructions and ingredient quantities. It features an illustration of a baked sourdough loaf and lists necessary ingredients like a glass jar, filtered water, bread flour, a small rubber spatula, and measuring cups.
Sourdough starter : for beginners
TIP #1 : For your first measurement, weigh the flour using a kitchen scale so you can get an idea of how the mixture should feel. Do not weigh the measuring cup! It should be like a thick paste, like peanut butter. If you need to add a little more water to incorporate the flour, that is OK too!
