Issues With Starter
Hey, I'm pretty new here and if you guys don't mind, I need some help with my starter.
My starter is 10 days old now. I'ts a 1:1:1 ratio and I started it with King Arthur Whole Wheat flour and I've been using bottled water when feeding and "Great Value" All purpose flour when feeding. I leave it open with a dish cloth rubber banded on the top so it can get fresh air and I've been keeping it on a heating pad to keep it warm.
My issue is that it will not rise. There are no bubbles what so ever and I'm afraid it' s dead. I believe the main issue is do to the whole wheat flour which is a year old, and the all purpose flour which is bleached.
If you know whats wrong, please help, Thank you.
