Starter won't rise
I have a 75% whole wheat starter I've been maintaining for about 1.5 years. I've followed Peter Reinhart's method in his Whole Grain Breads book. It smells right, as far as I can tell, but it has never risen well -- on its own or in a bread dough.
Any thoughts on what I could be doing wrong?
Thanks,
ST
