This is day two of starting your sourdough starter from scratch! Today is the first day you will be discarding sourdough starter! Here are some tips to help you through today: 1. You should weigh your jar before you add anything to it. My jar weighed 466 grams. I added 113 grams to that and got 579 grams. This means anytime I feed my starter, I can just remove sourdough from the jar until the scale reads 579 grams. This is the main reason why I prefer to use a scale when feeding my sourdough starter! 2. You do not want to keep the discard from today for discard recipes. I know it may seem very wasteful to dump all of that starter, but the discard is simply not strong enough to use in a recipe.
That’s odd! So you added 1/2 cup of water and 1 cup of flour? I did feel like after a few feeding my starter got a little thick for my liking so I reduced the flour amount! It’s also been hot and so that thins out my starter too!

Adding half of cup if flour was a good consistency adding 1cup of flour had no moisture and doesn't good like your starter 😢
