Sourdough Starter from Scratch - Day 5 - Final & Testing

Over the past 5 days I have be taking you through the process of making your own sourdough starter from only flour and water, and here we are on the final day.
On the final day we're simply going to test our starter to see if it's ready to use. If it's not, simply keep feeding your starter until it's ready.
Method:
For day 5, the final day, I simply dropped some of the starter into a bowl of water and if it floats, it's ready to use for baking.

Hi from the west coast! I love that you don't have to throw out any starter each time you feed it. I have always found that wasteful.
