[NEW] Goldie by Sourhouse: a warm, safe home for your sourdough starter

Profile picture for user Sourhouse

Hey bakers!

I noticed that I had a wandering sourdough starter. It was always in search of a warm spot in my kitchen.

Fast forward to today, we are thrilled to share something we’ve poured our hearts and souls into over the last two years.

⁠Goldie by Sourhouse: a warm, safe home for your sourdough starter

We all know that if we want great bread, we need an active starter. ⁠The trouble is, sourdough starter is most active at temperatures between 75º-82ºF. For us humans, that’s just a little too warm to be comfortable at home!⁠

Meet Goldie by Sourhouse...Goldie elegantly warms your starter, bringing it up to the “Goldilocks Zone" of 75-82ºF - not too hot, not too cold. ⁠Your starter will be just right to help you bake your best bread.⁠⁠

We are fully funded at this point so backers will definitely get a Goldie.

We surpassed our funding goal yesterday and super stoked to get to work on fulfilling the orders.

I appreciate the good vibes!

Goldie will likely work with your favorite starter jar, but of course we designed the Sourhouse Starter Jar to become your new favorite. We designed it to be the easiest-to-clean starter jar in the world.

You see, there are no threads where your starter can collect and gunk up. The lid hugs the outside of the jar with just enough friction to be secure while still letting your starter breath.

 

The jar has a flat bottom, so it gets great contact with Goldie's warming base for efficient warmth transfer. 

 

It is made of very clear, borosilicate glass so it is easy to see any bits of dry flour that need to get mixed up into your starter. And of course, the jar has straight sides so it is easy to mix, clean and track the rise of your starter. 

 

  • On the sides of each PINT size jar are dots in 50ml and 100ml increments for judging when your starter has doubled (or tripled).
  • Our QUART size jar has 100ml and 200ml dots for those of you who like to keep larger starters or to build a levain in advance of a bake.

 

Both the PINT and QUART jars leave enough clearance inside Goldie to use a Sourhouse Cooling Puck.

 

Each jar comes with a gold rubber band too.
