Addressing Hooch: What to Do
One common query among sourdough enthusiasts is how to handle ‘hooch’, the liquid that sometimes forms on the surface of your sourdough starter. Here’s our simple, straightforward approach:
- Thin, Clear Liquid: If you see a thin layer of clear liquid forming on top of your starter, it’s safe to stir it back in. Following this, refresh your starter as you would typically do.
- Thick, Darker Liquid: In case a thicker, darker layer of liquid develops on your starter, we recommend you pour off the hooch before proceeding with your regular feeding. This helps maintain a balanced pH and prevents potential off-flavours from developing in your sourdough.
