Stop Obsessing Over Starter Ratios: How to Actually Control Your Sourdough

If you’ve ever felt confused by sourdough starter feeding ratios—1:1:1, 1:3:3, 1:5:5—you’re not alone.

There’s a lot of noise online… and a lot of it makes it sound like there’s a “right” way to feed your starter.

But here’s the truth:
There isn’t.

In this episode, we’re breaking down what feeding your starter actually does—and how you can use it to your advantage.

Because once you understand this, sourdough stops feeling unpredictable… and starts feeling completely manageable.

You’ll learn:

• What feeding ratios really mean (and what they don’t)
• How to control how fast your starter activates
• How to adjust your timing so sourdough fits your life
• The role hydration plays in fermentation speed
• Why there are no “rules”—only tools

This is the shift from guessing… to understanding.
