Sourdough Starter question
I started my first starter a week ago. It has been bubbling so I've 'fed' it regularly but it has not doubled in size in 12 hours yet. Today I moved it to a glass jar and I can now see through the side a growing layer of yellow-ish liquid in between the frothy top and the thicker layer below. Is this a bad sign or a good sign? Thanks.

Sounds like you might be underfeeding it, in general you want to discard most of it and keep say 10-30 grams, feed that with a ratio of 1:4:4 starter:flour:water.
