Professor Crumb’s Starter Care Kit: Printable Sourdough Tracker

Get to know your sourdough starter without chasing a perfect clock.

Professor Crumb’s Starter Care Kit is a practical 12-page printable designed to help beginners and busy, real-life bakers recognize their starter’s individual patterns. Record what you feed it, observe how it responds and compare several feedings before deciding what to adjust.

INSIDE THE KIT:

• Starter profile page

• Detailed feeding records

• Rise-and-peak experiment

• Look, smell and feel observation page

• Fridge-maintenance tracker

• Seven-day starter tracker

• Completed real-life example

• Reusable weekly starter record

• Cut-out starter jar labels

• Feeding-ratio examples

• Quick-reference starter clues

• Clear food-safety reminders

This kit focuses on useful observations rather than rigid schedules or guaranteed peak times. It works especially well alongside Professor Crumb’s Starter SOS Guide.

DIGITAL PRODUCT NOTICE

This is a digital PDF download. No physical product will be mailed. You can view it on your device or print the reusable pages as often as needed for your own personal use.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE

This kit is for educational purposes and cannot assess contamination through a screen. If your starter has visible fuzzy mould, pink or orange discolouration, or a genuinely rotten or putrid smell, throw out the entire starter and clean the container before starting again. When you are genuinely uncertain about contamination, replacing the starter is safer than taking a food-safety risk.
