Cum vestri starter advenit

Pasce. Fortasse paucas pastiones requiruntur ut sulcum suum recuperet, sed recipiet.

Proportio pascendi est 1:1:1 (fermentum fermentatum: farina: aqua), 60 grammata farinae non dealbatae (farina quae apta est fermento empto), 60 grammata aquae tepidae, et 60 grammata fermenti. In ampullam vitream cum operculo laxo pone; in mensa per aliquot horas quiescere sine donec duplicatur. Simul ac laeta et activa est, cum ea coquere potes. Ut satis fermenti pro tua coquina habeas, ne abicias. Fac ut 60 grammata ut fermentum serves et cum reliquis coquas. Deinde in armario frigidario ponere potes; operculum claude et hebdomadaliter cibum da, nisi multum coquis et cum quotidianis cibum relinquere vis.

Meus starter non oriri

Hoc ob causas duas diversas fieri potest:

1) Si temperatura nimis frigida est, conare fermentum tuum in alio loco reponere. Summum frigidarii bene operatur.

2) Si farinam dealbatam usus es, et agentes dealbantes aliquas culturas vivas necaverunt, ad farinam non dealbatam transi.

3) Aquam tractatam usus es. Interdum aqua e fistula chloro tractata est. Aquam non tractatam experire. Aquam destillatam noli uti.

Si omnia alia deficiunt, conare id restituere per:

In ampullam XXV grammata fermenti fermentati pone et quinquaginta grammata farinae et quinquaginta grammata aquae ei da. Hac proportione, fermentum tuum intra horas XII-XXIV magnitudinem duplicare debet.

Initiator meus non crescit!

Fermentum fermentatum per se non augetur; magnitudine duplicabitur, deinde inflabitur. Si plus fermenti cupis, in proxima pastione ne abicias, fermentum pondera et aequales farinae et aquae portiones praebe. Pastiones 24 horarum itera donec satis habeas ad coquendum panem tuum. Fac ut 60 grammata fermenti serves ut "fermentum matrem". Hoc in armario frigidario serva ut fermentum principale (fac ut praebeas) cum proportione 1:1:1.
