My starter gets wetter
Hi all
I've been trying to get a starter ... started but have an issue with the consistency after a fees.
I started with 50g strong flour and 50ml water. Since then I'd've been adding the same every day. I get bubbles, but no rise. The smell isn't great, but I'm not sure I know what I'm looking for yet.
Last night I decided to try a different tack and take 50g of what I had, throw away the rest and add 50g flour and 40ml water. This morning there is the smallest of rises, but it seems to have gotten considerably looser! Any ideas? Should I be thinking of starting again?
