Pls help! White starter smell problem
Hi everyone,
I am growing a white starter but something is wrong. I will appreciate your help.
It's a few weeks old. I feed it twice per day according to the following schedule - 1:2:2 keeping 15 gr of starter and discarding the rest before each feed. It rises within 6 hours but has a strange smell which is carried onto a baked loaf. The smell reminds of a true yeasty smell but with strange hints of sweat.
I also have whole wheat, whole rye, whole spelt starters that work and smell great.
I wanted to have all white starter as well.
Thanks for help!
