So I’m an avid review reader but not someone who leaves many. Being someone who is just dipping my toes into sourdough bread I just want to tell you to buy the starter. I tried to start my own and didn’t have enough patience and so many questions. When I got my starter I did something on my own that made me think that I possibly messed up my starter. I reached out to customer service and they responded in a timely matter and helped me troubleshoot even being super gracious and sending me out another one while trying to figure out what was going on with mine in the meantime. So 5 starts just on customer service alone. So obviously the internet has so many videos on the does and don’ts when making bread it’s so much info to take in but I have realized that the one thing I’m not questioning is my starter. Seriously if it wasn’t for the starter which I feel super confident about I feel like it would feel so much more overwhelming. Knowing that my starter is strong and established lets me worry about all the other things there is in the process of making sourdough. I’ve been baking weekly with it and even on loafs I know I have messed up on they have all turned out decent and I know it’s because of the starter. If your hesitant about getting it I would say don’t be because you definitely won’t regret having it!
