Oh I have plenty patience for this sort of thing, not everything though.

Looks alright. Give it another stir. How cool is the temperature where you have it? Yeast is more active in warmer temperatures.Originally posted by Containergardener View PostLast edited by smallblueplanet; 15-02-2024, 09:47 AM.To see a world in a grain of sand

Agree with SBP, give it another stir to incorporate the liquid a bit better.
18 ºC is warmer than my kitchen. I've made three starters and each one worked. I'd go so far as to say it'll take a miracle for yours not to work.Comment

Wrap a warm towel around it? Even though Snoop says it's warm enough it will start more easily with a bit more warmth. We keep Elvis in the fridge between bakes, 'waking' him up by feeding and warming up as needed.Originally posted by Containergardener View Post18degrees

Well I've started a second one in a different sort of pot and it's up in my sewing room.
So I may have 1, 2 or still none

Nothing wrong with having 2 on the go especially when it’s winter time and the temperatures cooler.Location....East Midlands.Comment

They hadn't done anything so I had a nose inside and decided to try a stir. I'd say they have more of a gloop stretchyness on stirring. Perhaps they are doing something?Northern England.Comment

First one is still just has the stretchy gloop to it. Should I give it another stir?
Second has got bigger after its stir yesterday.
