fermenting Sourdough Hooch for fermentation

[PtMD989]

When using hooch for hot sauce what is the recommended amount to pitch for a good fermentation? Is there a rule of thumb you all use?

I just put a Tbspn or 2 in when I use it. That is for a quart jar.

I put about 1 TBS of hooch in my last batch of 3/4 QT. It’s fermenting but it seems not as active as my other 2 batches that I added probiotics pills only to.

May be lacking in enzymes due to the level of Alcohol made by the "Hooch", just add more, trial and error.

Will do. I just fed my SD have to wait for hooch to form.

"Hooch" if I recall is when its gone too far and you end up with separation in the slurry.
