My apologies, this is my first post and I posted it incorrectly elsewhere.  Hopefully this is correct. SourdoLady HELP! I am dead in the water........I thought I was following a correct recipe, but all is for naught.

Ok for the past 6 days I have tried to get a starter going and it just ain't happening. Each day at noon I add: - 2 tablespoons of whole wheat flour and - 2 tablespoons of orange jusice

I cover with a wet cloth so they-the would be yeasties and lactibacili- won't dry out. They are placed in the laundry/furnace room so things are at about 75 degrees temp. Do I have to use rye flour or regular flour instead? Please advise asap. enjoy Country Boy
