Sourdough Home – Sourdough starter incubator/controller for managing sourdough starters.
Use precise temperatures to control your starter. The sourdough incubator is for heating or cooling the sourdough to keep your sourdough at the perfect temperature. Feed your sourdough according to your schedule: from twice a day to once a week. Change the temperature to adjust the flavor profile, aroma and texture of your bread.
To maintain a stable temperature, the machine constantly adjusts the heating or cooling power. Temperature settings close to the ambient room temperature will require a very small amount of power, while temperature settings significantly above or below the room temperature will require more power, see specifications.
The sourdough incubator allows you to create a starter feed schedule that works for you. Feed your sourdough once a day, every three days or even once a week. Precise control over a wide temperature range allows you to manage the fermentation rate of your starter like never before and gives you the ability to control when your starter peaks. The time to reach a peak at different temperatures depends on the amount of feed, the level of hydration and the type of flour used. Experiment with your own sourdough to get the desired result.
Use our guideline below to get started:
Temperature time to feed quantity ratio
- 7 °C 5 days / 120 hours 1:4:4
- 10 °C 3 days / 72 hours 1:4:4
- 12 °C 2 days / 48 hours 1:4:4
- 20 °C 1 day / 24 hours 1:4:4
*The guidelines are based on a 100% ready-made starter fed with regular organic flour.
