Review: Product is terrible does not work - Not having a successful experience with this product. I followed the direction . No rise in bubbling. Tonight I read 1 reviewer who said try 100 degree water bath. I’m trying to that now. 2 suggestion use warm water 3 suggestion add water first. This company must think everyone lives in warm climates. I live in Ohio and I am struggling. Our weather has been terrible cold . I’m going to ask for my money back if this product does not work.save your money if you live in north east Ohio.
Review: Didn’t Work for Me - Final update: Seller had actually sent a message saying “reply to this message with ‘full refund’ if you would like a full refund.” I replied as such. Seller asked for details about my sourdough process. After multiple back and forths and my prompting they said they actually were not issuing a refund because I’m still working on my starter… what? lol. Huge waste of time and personally I’m never ordering from them again. Update: Seller gave me a refund :,( I feel terrible but I did try my best with it. I’m going to buy it again so I can hopefully get it started and give this five stars. I’ve been really hesitant to write a review, because it could be something on my end. However, I feel I’ve tried EVERYTHING and haven’t gotten this starter to work. I followed the directions exactly and didn’t have a working starter after a week. At a certain point (after the week) I added less water so it could hold bubbles better and I could see if it was growing. I’ve since tried two different bottled waters, mainly spring, multiple flours, including whole wheat and multiple methods of warming the starter. Currently I’ve been using unbleached AP at a 1:1:1 ratio, with the proofing setting on my toaster at 85 degrees and feeding consistently at either the 12 hour mark or the 24 hour mark (trying to figure out when it would like to be fed). It bubbles a little bit and bubbles reach the surface eventually, say around the 12 hour mark and by that point it’s basically more liquid than solid, I can pour it like liquid into the trash when it’s time to discard (starts out like thick pancake batter). However, in that 12 hours it grows maybe a fifth (and that’s after like 6 hours and also where it stops). I’m now adding rye to see if that will get it going. Anyways, POINT IS: It’s been over a month now and even if it eventually starts growing properly (which I’m hoping it will) I can’t say the starter I originally purchased had anything to do with it. I’m pretty sure I just created my own starter for $13. One thing I will say is it never went through the early doubling phase that happens when starting your own starter and it never smelled bad. So maybe it was alive, I don’t know - but it didn’t work as advertised and I’m pretty annoyed at this point thinking I probably could’ve had more luck starting my own fresh starter three weeks ago… I don’t know.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How do I store the starter?**
A: Store your starter in a mason jar with a loose-fitting lid. You can store at room temperature on your counter (starters perform best at 70-85ºF), but we do recommend storing your starter in the fridge to reduce feeding time and waste.

**Q: How do I feed my sourdough starter?**
A: If storing on your countertop, you should feed your gluten-free sourdough culture once every 4-6 hours using ¼ cup each (or 50g) of starter, water, and GF flour (slightly less flour). If storing in fridge, you only have to feed it every 3-4 days.

**Q: How is baking gluten-free sourdough bread different from sourdough with gluten?**
A: The starter needs fed more often and with less flour. You'll have to use a binder to hold the flour together, such as xanthan gum, chia seeds, or eggs. You won't have to knead the dough. Proofing is much faster (1-2 hours, or 6-8 in cooler weather).

**Q: What do I do with my sourdough starter discard?**
A: You could throw it out, or put it in your compost. You can also keep it in a separate jar for up to a week at room temperature or a month in the fridge, and use it for all sorts of recipes, such as waffles, crackers, desserts, and more.

**Q: How can I tell whether or not my starter is healthy?**
A: The main thing to keep your eye on is making sure your starter is bubbling; if not, it's likely dead, due to using the wrong flour or water, an unsanitized jar, or screwing the lid on too lightly.
