Brod & Taylor Sourdough Home

Brød & Taylor Sourdough Home

Heating and cooling chamber with precise temperature control for sourdough starter maintenance

The Brød & Taylor Sourdough Home gives your starter a stable temperature year-round, so you can manage fermentation around your baking schedule instead of the temperature of your kitchen. Set it cooler to slow activity and stretch the time between feedings, or warmer to keep a starter active and ready for frequent baking.

Why Order from Design & Grace

Authorized Brød & Taylor retailer: Design & Grace is an authorized Brød & Taylor retailer, so you receive a genuine appliance backed by the manufacturer's warranty.

Support beyond the box: Our team can help with product questions, starter jars, and building a more predictable sourdough routine.

Put Your Starter on Your Schedule

Sourdough starter activity changes with temperature. The Sourdough Home lets you control that variable with a 41-122°F temperature range instead of relying on changing room conditions or putting your starter in a refrigerator that may slow it more than you want.

Cooler settings gently slow fermentation, making it possible to extend feeding intervals to two, three, or even five days. Warmer settings around 76-78°F encourage more active fermentation when you want a starter ready for frequent baking.

Signature Features

Heating and cooling: Unlike a standard proofing box, the Sourdough Home can hold your starter above or below room temperature to either accelerate or slow fermentation.

41-122°F temperature range: Fine control across a broad range lets you adapt starter activity to your feeding and baking schedule.

Fewer feedings: Lower temperatures can slow fermentation enough to stretch the time between feedings, reducing both flour use and discard.

Stable year-round conditions: Keeps seasonal and daily kitchen temperature swings from changing your starter routine.

Fits jars up to 1 liter: The compact interior accommodates most standard 1-quart starter jars, including many common wide-mouth glass jars.

Works with different starters: Suitable for wheat, whole-wheat, rye, gluten-free, and other sourdough cultures.

Low-power temperature control: The unit continuously adjusts heating or cooling output to maintain the selected environment efficiently.

Compact footprint: The 11-inch-high cabinet is designed specifically for starter maintenance rather than full-size dough proofing.

Using the Sourdough Home

Place your covered starter jar inside, switch on the unit, and use the temperature controls to select the environment you want. Brød & Taylor recommends approximately 76-78°F / 24-26°C when you want strong, active fermentation.

For less frequent feeding, lower the temperature to slow activity. Your exact setting will depend on your starter, feeding ratio, flour, and preferred schedule.

Use a loose-fitting or non-airtight lid on the starter jar so fermentation gases can escape while the starter remains protected.

From Our Founder

"The value of the Sourdough Home is control. Instead of your feeding schedule changing every time the kitchen gets warmer or cooler, you can set the temperature to match how often you actually want to bake."

Tony Boulton, Founder, Design & Grace
