FAQ
Why should I keep my starter in the Sourdough Home Plus?

The Sourdough Home Plus maintains your starter at an exact, consistent temperature so you can reduce feedings, minimize discard, and bake on your own schedule. It eliminates unpredictable kitchen temperature swings, simplifies daily maintenance, and gives you total flexibility.

Do I still need to feed my starter every single day?

No! By lowering the temperature (such as setting it between 5°C and 15°C), you can slow down fermentation and extend feedings to every 2, 3, or even 5 days, eliminating rigid daily routines and wasted flour.

How is the Sourdough Home Plus different from the Folding Proofer?

The Sourdough Home Plus both heats and cools, meaning it can hold temperatures below room temperature to slow fermentation; it is also compact and specifically designed for starter jars up to 1 liter. The Folding Proofer only heats and is larger, designed for bulk dough fermentation and proofing loaves.

Can't I just store my starter in the refrigerator?

Standard refrigerators are usually too cold (around 3°C–4°C), which often puts starters into a dormant state that can weaken yeast health and requires multiple feedings to revive. The Sourdough Home Plus keeps your culture cool yet active and healthy, ready to bake whenever you are.

How do I control the unit remotely with my phone?

The unit features integrated WiFi and Bluetooth. Simply download and pair with the Smart Life app to monitor current status, change target temperatures, and turn power or interior lighting on and off from anywhere.

What jar sizes fit inside the chamber?

The interior chamber fits jars up to 1 liter (1 quart). It works seamlessly with standard glass canning jars such as Weck, Ball, and the Brod and Taylor Sourdough Starter Jar.
