Default Sourdough Rye Bread is NOT sour - help

Janet,

I know you explained a while back how you make a 2 lb stiff preferment and
stick it in the frig for the week's baking, BUT, can you please fill in just a
couple more details?

1. Appoximately what percentage is your preferment to the rest of the dough
make-up? Order of magnitude is good enough 20% or 50%.

2. Then if I remember correctly you go through a single rise with your made up
dough, form the loaf(s) then retard overnight. Is that right?

3. Do you make your next preferment with the left over preferment or with jar
of Carls sitting in the back of frig?

I really want to give this method a try. Thanks,
Ed Bechtel
