My starter is different

Use your own starter without changing the recipe.

A recipe may call for 100% hydration while your starter is stiffer or more liquid. Calculate how much to use and how to correct the recipe water.

Flour, water and total recipe weight stay the same.

Compare the starters

What does the recipe call for and what do you have?

Enter the starter from the recipe, then only the hydration of your own starter.

100% means the starter contains equal weights of flour and water.
