Your instructions above recommends having an average room temp of 70f. However, in the part of Asia I am in, the average room temperature is between 86f to 91f. Would it be to warm to even try making sourdough bread at home? Or should I stick the starter in the fridge instead? Or maybe you could recommend other timing/schedule? You can definitely place the starter in a cooler place, and use cold water too. That will help slow down the starter so that it doesn't overferment. Our bakers use ice water in the doughs here during the summer months. ~ MaryJane
