Bulk Fermentation Planner

Plug in your dough temp, room temp, grains, hydration & folds. Let the app handle the timing.

🌿 See how your dough’s temperature evolves while bulk fermentation runs.

Projected dough temp Target 72–78°F
Minutes into bulk
– °F

Current setup: –

Grain mix: –

Fermentation strength: –

Measure right after mixing.
Proofing environment.
Positive = slower (weaker); negative = faster (very strong).
Whole grains usually need less bulk; auto-tuned from grains in Nerd tab.
Presets nudge temps & adjustments to common loaf styles.
Example: 900 g for a standard bâtard.
Total batch is based on this.
Total dough: – g
Same hydration as in “Grains & formula” tab.
Synced with Quick tab.
Synced with Quick tab.
Total dough hydration.
Default 2.0%.
Assumes 100% hydration starter.
Totals near 100% will match your dough weight more closely.
Set dough weight & grain % to see gram breakdown.
Dough formula
Enter dough weight to see formula.
From mixing until first fold.
Set 0 if you’re not doing folds.
Timer will ping you for each fold and at end of bulk.

Handling: normal. 3–5 folds are fine for most white or low whole-grain doughs.

Cold proof calculator

Estimate your dough’s cold-proof time based on final dough temp, refrigerator temp, banneton type, and whether the dough is covered. Includes a cooling curve similar to the projected dough temp rise.

Auto-filled from end-of-bulk later, but editable.
Auto-filled from your dough formula later.

Countdown: –

When the countdown hits zero, you’ll get a popup and continuous beep until you clear it, then the schedule moves to the next step.
