New Starter smells
Like old beer. Well I'm not really sure if it smells like alcohol or sour since I'm not really sure how its supposed to smell. I have been feeding it once a day for about 6 days. It has doubled and even tripled but I read that if you keep doing it you will develop a more sour starter. I have also heard that it smelling like alcohol is very bad. Please tell me I can fix it.
Any suggestion on what to do would be greatly appreciated. I really don't enjoy being a newbie but I do like making bread and I was hoping to make my first Sourdough this weekend.
