Comment on Gluten-Free Sourdough Starter by Chantal.
First off, if you have a good starter, you won’t have to discard (unless your jar gets too full)! I never do! I always leave just enough (about 1 cup) in my glass jar until the next feeding. I feed my GF starter(s) every week or so. Once you pull it out of the fridge to use it, feed it a little water and flour (1/2 cup of each is great, 1/4 of each will work too), leave it on your counter for a few hours until it gets active and bubbly! The key is to feed it enough food (water + flour) to create enough starter for your recipe and have some leftover for the next feeding. I hope this makes sense.

Hi! A GF flour blend will work, but using one without xanthan gum or other gums to make a GF sourdough starter is probably best. Try a smaller portion starter with the flour you have. That way, you don’t waste any 😉 Recipe: https://www.freshisreal.com/easiest-gf-sourdough-starter/

A few things you could try is to use warm water (90-90°F) when you’re feeding your starter. When you’re in the kitchen cooking, place the starter near the warmth. Also, if you have a microwave and after you warm up foods and the inside is still warm, move your starter there to keep it cozy.

Hi Jimmy! You actually don’t need grape juice or fresh citrus juice. It will work without them. Alternatives are placing a piece of fruit in the starter (organic apple or pineapple). If you try with fruit, remove it after 24/48 hours. Also, adding a tiny bit of pure maple syrup works well too. I did not try apple cider vinegar, but it could help boost the activity if you want to try it. Consider placing two small jars side by side and experiment with a smaller portion, like in my experiment. https://youtu.be/QuHSndIBMQI It’s fun, and you’ll see what works better with your ingredients and environment.
