What the app tracks.
Starter peak windows start with the variables bakers actually control: feeding time, starter weight, flour, water, flour type, and the temperature around the jar.
- Log feedings with ratio and temperature, not only a timestamp.
- Add observations as the starter rises, domes, flattens, and recedes.
- Use the estimate as a planning window, then confirm with the starter itself.
Why temperature belongs in the model.
A starter fed at 18°C and the same starter fed at 25°C are not on the same clock. Lievanto uses a simplified Q10 model so the estimate moves when the kitchen changes.
Where this helps.
A likely peak window is most useful when you want to mix at a specific time, build a levain for an overnight dough, or stop guessing whether the starter will be ready before bed.
