I am learning about starter on my quarantine , break, so am a total newbie. I have two questions, can anyone help?
1. I am feeding my starter once a day, 4 oz. flour and water and keeping it around 70 degrees. On day 5 it has nice bubbles and smells lovely and sour, but is not showing a lot of rise so I'm thinking it's not quite ready for baking. Is this correct? I am keeping it in a bowl and wonder if the rise just doesn't show as much?
2. If you keep your starter in a quart jar, how much do you feed it a day? It seems like it would be too full right away, but I would like to move mine to a jar.
