For beginning the starter you say 4oz. flour to 4oz. water but refer to the cup amounts as one cup and 1/2 a cup, respectively. Am I starting with one cup of flour to 1/2 a cup of water or should I skip the confusion and use a digital scale? Thanks for this article, I'm extremely excited to start my own starter. I'm interested in seeing how long (years, even) I can maintain one and how the complexities change with time.
