80% Sourdough Rye w/ Rye Soaker

From "Bread" 3rd edition.  The result was a little flat, tight but not super-dense crumb, and very hearty rye flavor with a touch of sweetness from the rye soaker.

Formula:

80% Sourdough Rye w/ a Rye Soaker

There is a typo in the sourdough section of the formula.  use 350g of culture, not 3.5 kg for the big metric batch.  I followed Hamelman's suggestion to increase the culture by 25 - 50% if you reduce the big batches to home size; I used 47g for 1/10 the formula.  

Like many whole rye breads, this is great base for smoked fish and spreads.

you posted.  My version (p.213, 2nd edition?)  the Mature sourdough culture listed as .175 kg for the big batch metric and 1/10 th would be 17.5g.  Plus 50% gives 26,25g culture.
