What is the ideal temperature for sourdough starters?

Ideal temperature range for sourdough starters after feeding is 70-80°F (ideally 70-75 °F) room temperature

Can I feed the starter with something other than all-purpose flour?

We only recommend using all-purpose flour to reactivate and feed the starter with as that is what our starter is accustomed to. Using a different type of flour during the reactivation process increases the changes of starter failing.

When is my starter ready?

Your starter is ready when it is rising and at least doubling in size within 6-8 hours.
