Day 14 of the new starter. Doubling in about 4.5 hours at 76°F. The smell has shifted from acidic-sharp to a more balanced yeasty-sour. Ready to bake with.

Tried switching to whole wheat for the morning feed. Lots more activity within 2 hours. Going back to my regular flour for the evening feed.

Starter kept in the fridge for two weeks. First feed back at room temp barely budged. Second feed it doubled. Patience.

Switched to a stiffer starter (60% hydration). Slower rise but more consistent timing — I can predict the peak within 30 min now.
