Starter Kit + Colleague: Helper Tool for Your First Weeks
The method and your helper for the first weeks — the Starter Kit and the Starter Colleague in one bundle.
Making a starter takes weeks, and most people give up because they can’t tell what is normal. This bundle takes the guessing out of it: the Starter Kit teaches you the method, and the Starter Colleague tells you what to do today.
What you get:
1. The Starter Kit (7 modules, PDF)
- Creating your starter with the apple & rye method
- The feeding plan: one simple rhythm and the dome test
- Your first loaf: a complete beginner recipe, step by step
- The most common beginner mistakes, and how to catch them early
- Troubleshooting table: symptom → cause → solution
- Glossary of every term you’ll meet
- Printable kitchen cheat sheet with the full routine
2. The Starter Colleague (web app)
- Your task for today, with exact amounts and a short list of steps to tick off
- Phases and rounds: from the first mix through the refresh cycle and the change of flour to your lievito madre
- A log for your doubling times, so you see when you are ready for the next phase
- The dome test and the float test, explained step by step
- A help section for the most common starter problems (mold, kahm yeast, no activity)
