Characteristics
My sourdough is still only a couple of months old but once out of the fridge and fed, it can double in volume in 6-8 hours. It smells nicely sour and fruity and is gray-brown in colour, and rather stiff.

Working method
1
To start a sourdough culture, I add 75g of wholegrain rye flour and 75g of warm water. I feed the starter every 24 hours with the same quantities, discarding excess sourdough as needed. After about a week, the sourdough is ready (if it doubles or more in size)
