Chef's notes

Ideally, your kitchen should be about 26-28ºC, but when making this starter in winter, you may find that it takes a day or two longer to make. Make sure that there are obvious signs of activity before adding each batch of flour and water - the cooler your kitchen, the longer it will take.
