Sourdough

Hey guys! First time bread maker here, been working on a sourdough starter and I’m currently on day 3 of feeding, just wondering if it looks normal! I fed it about 4 hours ago it the band around the bottle is where it was after feeding.

But be aware that at this stage, all the activity is probably from unwanted bacteria. It will go quiet for a few days and while it’s doing that, just stir and don’t feed. It might even start to stink. Start feeding again when you see it active again.
