Hot take: my grandma's sourdough starter in a cracked crock beats my $40 jar setup
I fought with a fancy glass jar and a digital scale for 8 months before going back to her old crock and a cup measure, and the bread came out better in a week. The loose lid lets it breathe just enough, and I stopped getting that gray hooch layer every other day. Anyone else ditched the gadgets and gone back to the old way?
