Rye starter smells vinegary
Hi there,
This is the first time I am posting and wanted a little advice. I have recently been entrusted with some starters, a rye, plain, and I have made my own gluten free.
When they were handed over I was told they were a 100% hydration starters, so I should use the ration 2:1:1. At the moment. I was also recommended to leave them in a cupboard. I was feeding them once a day, and the rye has startered to smell a little vinegary, it still has lots of bubbles on the sides, but not so much on the top. I wondered if this was normal and if not how best to rectify the situation.
The other two seem to be acting ok, and no pungent smells as yet, although could also perhaps be more bubbly ontop.
Any advice much appreciated
