Mistake in my sourdough starter that took 3 months to fix
My neighbor told me I was overfeeding my starter. I was dumping in 200 grams of flour a day. She said to cut it back to 100 every 12 hours. Now it actually rises and my bread has good crumb. Anybody else get bad advice from YouTube tutorials?

Oh man, YouTube tutorials nearly ruined my starter too. I was following this one guy who said to feed it like every 4 hours with this huge ratio and my starter just smelled like vinegar all the time. Took me forever to figure out less is more.

Yeah the internet overcomplicates everything. Keep it simple.
