Q: What is a standard sourdough starter feeding ratio?
A standard maintenance feed is a 1:1:1 ratio (equal parts starter, flour, and water by weight). This usually peaks in 4-6 hours at room temperature. If you want to slow down your starter so you can feed it less often, use a higher ratio like 1:2:2 or 1:3:3.
