Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

My starter isn't bubbling today, but it was a cold day.

Try putting it in a coolbag with a hot water bottle if you think it needs a bit of warmth? (Not entirely my idea, a book I have says "great results have been obtained with a hot water bottle and a duvet.")

It's a struggle if you've got a cold house. My starter is also reluctant to 'ferment' as my house is cold, even in the summer, around 15–16°C when most recipes refer to 'room temperature' as 20°C or more. In the past to bake a normal loaf I've warmed my oven up slightly and then switched it off to use it as a 'proving draw'.

I keep my sourdough starter in the airing cupboard now. I've made two loaves from it so far, both of which have lacked much rise. Getting some good practice in though.

Oranj, my starter looked a bit less than active, read a bit more, and I am feeding it more regularly, seems to have perked up now, so will go for it. I too have he house at around 16/17, anything much above that is a bit of a waste when I have jumpers :-). I need to build an airing cupboard.
