Help getting that fruity starter smell
My starter is the Tartine way.
I mix it and dump it out everyday and add about 20 grams of ice cold water and 20 grams of refrigerated flour (Flour is 50% all purpose and 50% whole wheat)
Sometimes after I dump it, it smells great- fruity, sweet, etc. Other times it does not have that smell.
Why?
Also does is matter which flour I feed it with; All Purpose Flour or Bread Flour?
Thank you for your time.
