Got some Hootch from my leavening (sourdough starter) - drinks anyone?
Haha.
What the hootch means: your levain (starter) is hungry. Just pour
it off and feed it.
They say it's about 10% alcohol -- and tastes nasty!!
I might try it next time I get it (if I do) so I can say I've tried Hootch!!

Poured off the hootch, split the levain - and feed it.
You just split the levain in half and with the one you are going to feed: add the 1:1 ratio of flour and water needed. In my case I removed 1/2 cup of levain then added 1/2 cup flour and 1/2 cup water then I mixed it well - loosely covered so the levain can get air.

With the removed levain, I will make a primitive rustic flatbread
- I can also make a pancake with it or savory pie crust from
it.
