And well, an obvious sign, but I've actually had starters go moldy after a while. Much longer than a few weeks though - more like months :)Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18224478760304481724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814165.post-62334161347836546422010-04-22T14:03:16.412+02:002010-04-22T14:03:16.412+02:00Thanks for answering my other comment Anne.

How do you know when it has gone bad???<br /><br />I've made your starter and had it in the fridge for a few weeks, but how can I tell if it's still good to use? It smells strong but I think that rye starter is supposed to, right?<br /><br />Thanks, TaraTaranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814165.post-84075817971571693712010-03-03T19:51:00.687+01:002010-03-03T19:51:00.687+01:00Tara, to be honest I don't feed my starter unl...Tara, to be honest I don't feed my starter unless I'm baking. I'm lazy that way - and my starter seems resilient. Sometimes it's not though, and then I have to start over. (My wheat starter seems to survive anything, but the rye has gone bad sometimes.) I take it out the night before, or two days before I want to bake. I feed it equal amounts of flour and water, approximately, give it a stir and leave it out. Next morning, same thing. And again at night, if it's not happily bubbling by then. <br /><br />So, as you can see, I'm really not very exact about this. At all. But it seems to work :)Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18224478760304481724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814165.post-84054057235201824932010-03-03T15:46:45.204+01:002010-03-03T15:46:45.204+01:00What do I feed the starter when I'm not going ...What do I feed the starter when I'm not going to bake?<br /><br />And then when I want to use it for baking, do I do all the same things again from day 1?<br /><br />Thanks!

I tried to make a starter once and it was so active it exploded out of its jar and all over my fridge during the night! Maybe its time to try again :)Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05008246307753272616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814165.post-42666470989162058682009-05-07T21:27:00.000+02:002009-05-07T21:27:00.000+02:00yeah!! i'm loving the rugbrød i've made with my so...yeah!! i'm loving the rugbrød i've made with my sourdough starter, but i never knew what was in it. got it from a friend of my fiance. never tasted a better loaf. ^^minahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16826573872609394686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814165.post-62001183858611785322009-05-07T11:32:00.000+02:002009-05-07T11:32:00.000+02:00Was just at the point of looking for a rye starter...Was just at the point of looking for a rye starter when I read your post.<br />I've planned to make this one and take it with me to Sweden this summer.<br /><br />thanksMarjokehttp://companyinmykitchen.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
