Curiosity! I heard a lot about sourdough bread, but I had never tried before. I bought a book about baking and there was a recipe of how to create sourdough starter, so I decided that I wanted to try. In the process, and once I made my first sourdough bread, I fell in love with sourdough and started doing more research to learn more about it.
Characteristics
It gets active very fast. It usually takes two feeds after I take it out of the fridge to be ready to prepare bread. It is very bubbly, and its smell is between acid and sweet.

After every use, I keep 50g of starter, which I feed with 25g of high grade wheat flour and 25g of water. After this, I keep it in the fridge for one week. When I need to use it, I take it out of the fridge and feed it with 50g of flour and 50g of water. After 8-12 hours, I feed it again with 100g of flour and 100g of water. In 8-12 hours, I discard everything except 50g.

Generally I keep around 50g of sourdough starter after each use, which I feed with 25g of high grade wheat flour and 25g of water. When I need to bake again, I feed it with 50g of flour and 50g of water and after 8-12 hours, I feed it again with 100g of flour and 100g of water. After this, my sourdough starter is ready to be used.
