Attempted sourdough starter for the first time

Been watching too many bread videos on YouTube so I decided to make a starter from scratch. Fed it flour and water every day for a week and now it's bubbling like crazy. Made my first loaf yesterday and it actually turned out decent. Not perfect but way better than I expected. My family thinks I'm crazy spending this much time on bread but something about the process is really relaxing to me.

Dude same. Got sucked into the YouTube bread videos and now my kitchen counter looks like a science experiment. How many days in are you?

The YouTube bread rabbit hole is real. Four kids and somehow I still found time to start one of these. Just be patient with it and don't overthink the feeding schedule.

Welcome to the sourdough rabbit hole. I started one last year and now I'm the guy baking bread at 5am before the kids wake up. The starter should be active and bubbly by day 5 or so if you're feeding it right.
