    get your hygrometer calibrated. Membranes will dry out but they turn brown if so. It takes time and the humidity helps it take a bit longer but membranes will always dry out given enough time. From my experience it is best to keep humidity at a verified 65%. If you still have condensation on...

    He condensation at on the view window is an indication that the humidity is higher than the reading. Condensation usually does not happen until closer to 90%. That can be bad because it will push out the oxygen and the chicks will suffocate.

    Yes, I get the Debris out and then spray it with the cleaner. I then take it to the shower and clean it out with a brush. The Styrofoam incubators have holes in the bottom so make sure that they are clear--air flow is very important!

    Yes! and the longer it raises, the more sugar that is made from the enzymes breaking down the flour. If you make cookie dough and leave it in the fridge over night, the enzymes will break down the flour in the dough and make the cookies taste very good.

    I am so sorry! The thermometer for incubation needs to be sensitive to temperature fluctuations and be accurate in the lowest plus or minus range possible. If the thermometer does not read in tenths, you do not want to use it! It other words, you want it to be able to read 99.5, not 98, 99, or...

    send me a pm with your address. I need to dry some more and that takes a couple of days. I should be able to get an envelope into the mail by Thursday for you. I do not charge for the starter.

    I do not use the sour salt. It does not get super brown because it does not have sugar in it. Adding a teaspoon would make the crust brown. The kirkland porcelain oven has a metal knob so it can go very hot. I make two loaves out of the recipe and the pan goes into the oven 30 min. before...

    I have a big bag of Gluten powder. I add half a cup to the dough usually.

    AP flour is not gluten free. Gluten is Good! Unless you have Celiac disease. The Gluten Free fad is quickly fading away as research debunks it. Some people my be sensitive to wheat because of the way it has been changed but that is not gluten and Organic wheat is usually fine for them...

    Bread flour or AP white flour. The trick is the amount of flour to use. Flour is different in amount to use based on the amount of water it has in it --in the bag! Humidity at your place will change it. As an example, A recipe that calls for 8 cups of flour here may need 9 to make good...

    Yes, from Carl and I do think it is even older. Carl got it from a Lumber camp and it originally came over from Europe. It would be the flour that got you.

    It will be fine mc. Pour off all but half a cup and add in 80degree water, 1c and 1c of flour. Stir it together and do the same thing tomorrow. It should go bubbly again by then. Sourdough is bad if it turns pink.

    Do you still have starter? Was it real starter? I mail out starts and have some great recipes and tips. Do you have a porcelain dutch oven? You can make bread that is similar to steam injected. The biggest trick with sourdough is that it will always be sticky so you have to go by stiffness...
