Feeding ratio
You might say: refreshment, how much to feed
The proportions of old starter, fresh flour and water at each feed, such as 1:1:1 or 1:5:5 by weight.
- What it does
- Controls the time to peak: higher ratios extend the time between feedings.
- Ask
- Which ratio brings my starter to its peak when I need it?
- Typical
- 1:1:1 to 1:10:10 by weight; higher ratios take longer between feedings.
What to look for
- Separate old starter, flour and water portions sit on a scale
- A ratio card reads as three weights such as 1:5:5
Connections
- Controls: Starter peak

So, a 1:1:1 feeding ratio means the sourdough starter, flour, and water have been added in equal amounts by weight. … A 1:1:1 ratio requires more frequent feedings, while higher ratios like 1:8:8 or 1:10:10 extend the time between feedings, so that you may only have to feed starter once a day.
