I'd like to get clarification on a paragraph in "Getting Ready To Bake": My recipe calls for 1 1/2 cups fed starter (340.5g?). My fed starter currently is 339g (113g starter + 113g water +113g flour). To increase it to the 340.5 (plus 113g to keep the starter going), do I reserve 113g and add 170.25g water and 170.25g flour? Or do I reserve the same amount of starter (170.25g) and add the water and flour to that? I thought I read somewhere that the starter, water and flour were to be of equal weight...but the instructions on the blog sound as if you start with 4 oz (113g) and add whatever flour and water you need.
