Would like to start feeding starter fresh milled hard white.... bran or not?
To give my mother starter more flavor profile, I like to start feeding my mother's starter freshly milled wheat. Most likely 50/50 KA all-purpose and fresh milled. Should I shift out the bran or leave it in?
I feed mine a combination of whole wheat, whole rye, and bread flours. Since I just eyeball the quantities, I've no idea what the relative percentages might be. The starter seems happy, though. And no, I don't sift anything out of the whole wheat or whole rye flours.
I feed my starter 100% stone milled rye. 10 gram stiff rye starter, 16 gram water and 20 gram rye. The combination varies seasonally. Whole wheat would work also.
Which isn't to say that you should, too.
