Made a starter with this formula and in my 71 degree house it worked but not that well. I tossed my first try and then put my starter in a 78 degree area and my day 1 starter had lots of bubbles under the top that were visible from the sides of the container. In a colder temp I’d recommend the day 1 end when the starter has some bubbles rather than end day 1 after 24 hours period. I believe the initial fermentation at 71 degrees did not generate enough good yeast and stuff to make a strong enough starter even after 12 days, just my experience…
