Clean jars every few days is a must. I am in New Zealand and my tap water is fine

What size jar is the best to use? I have been trying with unbleached bread flour and it doesn't seem like it is doing what it needs to do. Does it work better with unbleached whole wheat flour?

I use a pint size jar which is perfect when just starting a sourdough starter. Whole wheat will give it an extra boost so definitely try that if you can. If not, the unbleached bread flour should work, it may just take a little more time.

Can you use bread or ap flour?

Bread flour would be best! It can be done with unbleached all purpose but it doesn’t activate as nicely.

Do you continue with wheat flour or can you do AP after you’ve gotten it started?

I would continue with wheat flour but for sure an unbleached flour.

Is it possible to get this recipe in measurements other than grams?

Sourdough starter is best measured in grams for accuracy but you can do it with roughly 1/3 cup flour to roughly 1/4 cup water. The texture should resemble a thick muffin dough.
