## Getting Started

### Day One

1. Weigh and label the jar you will be using.
1. Add 100g of rye flour and 125g of 80F warm water and mix. Mark the jars height to keep track of its rise.
1. Cover and store in a warm place, targeting 80-86F.
1. Wait 24 hours before moving on to day 2.

## Day Two & Three

1. Expect to have seen a lot of activity, or maybe not. This is not "good" bacteria and may smell bad.
1. Discard all but 75g of the contents of the jar.
1. Add 50g rye flour, 50g white flour, and 115g of 80F warm water and mix well.
1. Cover and store in a warm place, targeting 80-66F.
1. Wait 24 hours before continuing to the next day.

## Day Four, Five & Six

> On day 4 you will start refreshing the mixture every 12 hours. You will then do this forever and ever until one of you dies.
## In the morning

1. Expect to have seen some activity by this point.
1. Discard all but 75g of the contents of the jar.
1. Add 50g rye flour, 50g white flour, and 115g of 80F warm water and mix well.
1. Cover and store in a warm place, targeting 80-66F.
1. Wait 12 hours before continuing to the next feeding.

## In the evening

1. Expect to have seen some activity.
1. Discard all but 75g of the contents of the jar.
1. Add 50g rye flour, 50g white flour, and 115g of 80F warm water and mix well.
1. Cover and store in a warm place, targeting 80-66F.
1. Wait 24 hours before continuing to day 5.

## Day Seven and Forever

1. Discard your start down to 20g.
1. Add 30g rye flour, 70g white flour, and 100g of 80F warm water and to the jar and mix well.
1. Cover and store in a warm place, targeting 80-86F
1. Wait 12 hours and repeat

## Signs of ripeness

After 7 days look for these signs that your start is ready to use:

1. There are bubbles on the surface and sides
1. The consistency has loosened since first mixing and it will be very easy to stir
1. It has a pleasantly sour aroma (not too much)
1. It has risen to some degree (at least 30%)
