Submitted by BDGoats on January 13, 2008 - 11:39am Is my starter OK?I activated my starter from Northwest Sourdough last week. It was bubbly at first (I feed it for 3 days starter - 1 cup flour, 3/4 cup distilled water). Now it is doing nothing - looks like pancake batter - no bubbles. I keep getting houch (the thin layer of liquid on top) - so I stir that back in. But, I haven't seen any bubbles for the last day or two. Did I do something wrong? Is it OK? What do I need to do?

Your starter is hungry! Save about 1/4 c, add about 1/4 water and 1/4 flour (approx, you want it to look like thick pancake batter), and let it go. It should get nice and bubbly again soon. For a really active starter, you should feed it at least once a day, if not more. A lot of people on this site, myself included, feed their starters twice a day. When your starter gets more active, you'll find that you need less starter to innoculate the flour and water mixture.
