Need Help with Reinhart's Seed Culture
I am on day 4 of BBA's seed culture formula and for some reason there is no sponge activity. All looked good after days 1 through 3. On the 3rd day the sponge doubled. 24 hours into day 4 I have only a 10% rise. Should I repeat day 4? I did use pineapple juice for days 1 and 2. Tap water for days 3 and 4. I believe my tap water is fine as I have used it in the past for starters. Temperature range has been 65-75. Any ideas what the problem could be?
