My girlfriend said that if I were going to
tend to my starters like pets, they should have names. Meet Frank and
Ernest.
The Importance of Being Ernest
Meet Frank. Frank looked and smelled much the same after his third feeding as he did after his second. I will spare you the repetitive pics. On the left you see Frank following his fourth feeding and a brief 4 hour, room temperature rest.
He seems to be full of life with lots of little bubbles. His aroma is sour but not over powering. There did not seem to be much of an accumulation of liquid following his forth meal. He has taken on the consistency of a very, very, very slack dough.
Here's Frank in his new 1 gallon home. He is in the fridge until tomorrow when I will have time to actual start transforming him into bread!
After 3 days Ernest is a gnarly looking beast. Other than the collection of copius amounts of liquid on the surface, there does not seem to be a lot happening with Ernest. Any activity that is happening seems to be centered around Ernest's, you'll forgive me, grape sack.
Today is a big day for Ernest though. He gets to have refreshments. A cup of flour a cup of water, Yum! And now it's back to bed for Ernest.
