@Dwayne Sutton started his sourdough starter 19 days ago, and it did not give him an easy ride. Thin starter. Color changes. Questions. Doubt. Two starters running at the same time. Two restarts. And still, he kept showing up. He kept feeding, kept asking, kept learning, and kept going. That’s why this is our Win of the Day. Because the win isn’t just that his starter finally doubled overnight. The win is that Dwayne didn’t quit before the breakthrough showed up. And now? If he keeps feeding it, caring for it, and learning its rhythm, that starter can stay with him for years. He could hand it to his grandchildren one day and say, “This thing started because I refused to give up.” Congratulations, Dwayne. You earned this one. Henry⭐🔥

After many trial and error, my starter finally doubled overnight.. I’ve gotten a bit discouraged, but I kept going. I had two starters going at once. I just kept going. I started over twice. lol.. I’m so psyched I had to share.

What does this mean when my starter changed colors like this? Is it hungry?

If you're building a starter right now, or you've been thinking about starting one, this is for you. I just dropped a new resource inside the Classroom that's going to save you from the most common quitting points in sourdough. 🥣 The Sourdough Starter 7-Day Expectation Sheet This walks you through exactly what to expect every single day of the build. ✅ What you'll see in the jar ✅ What you'll smell ✅ What to do that day ✅ And the reality check that keeps you from giving up when the jar lies to you Because here's the truth... Almost every starter that fails in our community fails for the same reason. Not bad flour. Not bad water. Not bad luck. People quit between Day 3 and Day 5. 📈 Day 3 lies to you with a false rise from bacteria, not yeast. 📉 Day 4 scares you when it crashes and goes flat. 🤔 Day 5 keeps you guessing. 🔥 Day 6 is when it starts coming together. This expectation sheet was built so you know what's coming before it happens. No panic. No guessing. Just clear coaching from Day 1 through Day 7. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📦 The resource comes in two formats: 🖼️ A full-color infographic you can save to your phone and reference anywhere 📄 A printable PDF you can tape to the fridge next to your jar ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎓 Both are inside the Classroom module here: 👉 https://www.skool.com/crust-crumb-academy-7621/classroom/5e132945?md=a2643bf5f74941b38c7790d83ec6dec6 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🥖 It also pairs with the full Sourdough Starter From Scratch recipe in the Pantry, which includes: ✔️ The complete day-by-day process ✔️ FAQs ✔️ Feeding schedule ✔️ Storage instructions ✔️ Troubleshooting help ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📸 If you're starting a new starter this week, drop a photo of your Day 1 jar in the comments. We'll walk through the week together. And if you're stuck on Day 4 right now...
