Am I over feeding my starter?
I started my starter on 06/10/11 using a dark rye flour and pineapple juice method; it did well and but when I started feeding it AP flour on day 4 it did nothing for 3 days so I added half wheat flour along with the AP and off it went after 24 hours and feeding it 2x a day. I fed it this morning and it has already tripled in volume and smells strongly like wine (no hooch though). Am I over feeding it?? I know it will take a while more before I can use it but I also dont want to over feed it. I keep it to the 1:1:1 ratio for feeding of .25 oz ea by volume.
Thanks!!!
