Flour for sourdough maintenance

Hello everyone, 

I'm currently living in the UK and I'm looking for a decent flour to use to feed my sourdough starter. Have you got any suggestions?

What did you make it with? That's what you generally feed it with. Mine is a bread flour (strong flour) starter so that's what I feed it. If it seems sluggish I'll put in a small bit of rye or whole wheat in a feeding to give it a boost. My flour also has malted barley flour added to it so I think that helps it too.

I’m in England and I use organic flour, usually Dove’s and a 50:50 white and wholewheat mix.
