Top down view into a mason jar of buckwheat starter 12 hours after being kicked off from the stirred starter in the previous image. It is nice and bubbly and is a tan-brown colour with everything mixed evenly. It has an extremely silky texture.

   Buckwheat sourdough starter is strange.

   If left in the fridge for longer than three days it separates into two layers. I assume the white lower layer is the AP flour and the buckwheat endosperm. The purple-brown layer is likely the ground buckwheat seed coat and hull.

   Stir and feed and all is good.

   First image shows the layers before stirring.

   Second image is 12 hours after feeding.

   15g AP, 5g buckwheat; 5g starter; 15g water.
