Strong but bland starter
I've started to store my starter in the fridge, as opposed to feeding it every day. It's a fairly new starter - maybe a couple of months old. After a week or so in the fridge, I "woke" it and fed it. No problems - it grew happily.
But, the loaves I've made from it are a bit disappointing - they aren't as sour as I remember. More like a good ordinary loaf. Is this just what happens when you put into hibernation/stasis? Or, is the starter just young? Or, what?
Thanks
