Sourdough Saga - Something went horribly wrong

 I have been making discard sourdough bread about once a month.  I make two batches that is a total of 4 loaves. Well, I thought to myself since I am starting my liquid diet day for my colonoscopy procedure. I would make bread to keep myself busy.  


Things went horribly wrong.  I want to blame the prep, but I honestly think it was my scale. I use the scale for weights instead of measurements.  I had trouble getting it to go to grams.  I ended up with a colossal ball of dry dough and the other batch I ran out of flour.  I couldn't use my kitchen aid mixer without dividing it. This was not how it usually turned out.  I tried to save it, but I ended up throwing out the whole thing. I had flour and starter everywhere.  My kitchen was a mess.  Sometimes you have disaster. I now have a new scale so hopefully I will attempt again. Stay tuned for redemption loaves and a new scale.
