Hi, I started 5 days ago and not much is going on. I used a mix of 300g bread flour, 50g whole grain and 150 Bio Rye. 1:1 ratio 30g flour and 30g water. We live an old cold house along the St-Lawrence River in Quebec. To keep it warm I use the oven with light on at night and next to the Propane fire place during the day with temperatures varying between 65 and 80F. Nothing going on... or so little. No bubbles, just a not too smelly goo. A crust did form on the first night in a 80F+ with door shut (I leave it open now), but I've just continued with 1:1:1 ratio since day 3 but it just doesn't seem to change. Not even a bad smell! I must say that both wheat flours used were from a lot which was kept in a cool place for a long period of time. It smelled nice. The Bio Rye was recently acquired. Am I doing something wrong? Should I just continue? Thanks.
