my starter smells really bad
I just decided to try and make my own starter using a method I found on the internet. I started it last night, fed it this morning and when I came home from work and opened it, the smell almost knocked me out. It smells like rotten eggs. Is this normal for the first day. I understand that there are other micros living in there not just yeast. Will it start to smell better after a few days when the yeast take over and the bacteria die off??
