I finally figured out why my sourdough was flat

For months I kept getting pancakes instead of loaves. I was adding my starter too early before it was actually bubbly. Then my neighbor who bakes for a living said wait until it floats in water. Tried that last weekend and got my first real oven spring! Has anyone else had their starter look active but actually not be ready?

Five days of waiting seems like a lot of work for bread.

Wait, @robinwalker isn't half the fun just watching it change over those days, lol?
