The people behind SourPod
We’ve baked sourdough for years. Friends would ask how we kept our starter going, try it at home, and still struggle with theirs.
So we brought baking and electronics together to build a lid that helps make sense of what’s happening in the jar.
That became SourPod.
A few practical things before you make room for it...
Does it run on batteries?
SourPod uses USB power. The cable and power adapter are included.
What is the wood finished with?
Food-grade oil. The wood can be re-oiled as needed.
Do I need an account or a subscription?
No. The app is free, with no account or subscription.
Do I have to keep my phone nearby?
The lid stores up to 48 hours of readings and syncs when your phone is back in Bluetooth range.
What is in the box?
The SourPod lid, a Weck 743 jar, a USB cable and a power adapter.
Can I use a starter I already have?
Yes. Move some into the included jar and leave plenty of room for it to rise.
Can I use my own jar?
SourPod is calibrated for the included Weck 743 jar.
When will it be available?
We’re planning for early 2027. Join the list and we’ll let you know when it’s ready.
