Hello. Thanks so much for all the good information. I'm new to starters and am finding this very helpful. Before I found your website I had started a whole wheat sourdough starter using a recipe from another website and it only called for 1 tablespoon each of flour and water and it called for dumping all of it each day (but not cleaning out the jar) and then adding another tablespoon each of flour and water. I'm now on day 5 and, after looking at some bread recipes I realize I'm going to need much more than 1 tablespoon of starter. Can I just add 4 ounces of flour and water and keep going? I'd rather not start over.
