Pop!
The raisin water gave a “pop” sound when I open the air-tight container and it smells like beer today
All raisins have floated to the top. So, it’s time to discard the raisins and keep the raisin water in the fridge. To make the yeast, I added about 100g of this raisin water to approximately same weight of bread flour in the ratio of 1:1.
Let’s check its progress again tonight
* I forgot to weigh and used estimation for the ratio. Hope it works.
The levain (as it’s so called) has risen a bit after 38min.
Forgot to change the label text to 6pm. Transferred to a larger container in case the levain grow too big while I’m sleeping… Also tasted the levain when transferring. Slightly sweet
