My Established Starter Smells Like loonie Baloonies (Acetone)
My starter is 7 weeks old. I've had this issue for a few weeks. I use a 1:1:1 ratio although I have been adding more flour. I read that it is underfed. So it's 125g of water and starter I am adding 140g of flour. Today I added 150g. Somewhere it said to use 2 tbs of starter and 14/c of flour and water. That seemed to work but today when I went to feed it the smell was back.The started is active. It rises and falls and I can see bubbles. It doesn't float. Until a few weeks ago it smelled yeasty and a little sweet. How do I fix this and get it closer to be ready to bake with? Thanks in advance!
