My first sourdough starter took 19 days to rise and I almost gave up on day 12
Back in 2019 my first starter just sat there like wet flour for almost 3 weeks, and I kept feeding it every morning before work wondering what I was doing wrong. Turns out my kitchen in Boise stayed too cold at night, so I moved the jar on top of the fridge and it finally doubled in size by day 19. Does anyone else's starter act totally different depending on the season, or is it just me fighting my apartment's thermostat?
