starter not bubbly and doubling
I have a starter over a year old. Purchased from KAF. It never seemed to be as active as it should have been from the get go. I keep it in the fridge and feed it once a week or so. I usually pull it from the fridge let it sit overnight to warm up then feed it 1,2.2,2 (starter,flour,water)ratio discarding some first to keep the over all size around fifty grams. It smeels great and does develop a greenish hooch on top in-between feedings. I do get bubbles just not very active and never seems to double in size. Should i think about starting over? I would love to save it even if it does take a little effort. Any guidence would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jimmykx250
