Good day all,  I have had nothin but failure so far with my starter attempt. 

First I tried Sourdoladys recipe and everything went well, up until I got off the juice and started the flour and water part.

Last weekend I tried 2 new starters using Sourdough Guys recipe.

I made one with Rye, and another with Whole Wheat.

I followed his recipe, and started them on Sunday, today is day 7.  Everything was going good up until day 4 when I introduced my white bread flour, and water.  I have been feeding 1:2:2 twice a day using just bread flour not wheat or rye going in at this point.  And I now get a liquid on the bottom of the jar in the Wheat starter (within 3 hours).  The Rye starter gets a little liquid on top, but nothing major.  Could someone please tell me what the liquid on the bottom is?  And what am I doing wrong?  I am using bottled water for the feedings.  My flour is good bread flour, and not rancid.  I dont get it.

Here are some photos the one with bottom liquid is wheat starter.

Any help is appreciated.
