Hi Austin, we've updated the Sourdough Starter recipe as well as the Feeding and Maintaining Your Sourdough Starter recipe online to include gram weights, so I hope you'll find these easier to follow, and I will pass along your request that the blog post be updated to include gram weights as well. As far as a cup of sourdough starter weighing 227g goes, the weight of a cup of starter can vary a bit, depending on the consistency of the starter, how ripe it is, and whether or not it was stirred down before measuring, so it's not surprising you came up with a slightly different weight. You're right to stick with grams if you have a scale, as this is the most accurate way to measure your ingredients, but because some folks don't have scales we do include the cup measurements as well. When measuring ripe starter by cups we recommend stirring it down before measuring, but when measuring by grams there's no need to stir it down.
