My Sourdough Starter Disaster

Hi Guys, 

First off I am completely new to baking, I would like to share my sourdough starter experience with you all and ask for help regarding where I may have gone wrong. 

I love sourdough so much, I love the texture, the light airy feel, the holes, the crust, the unique flavor profile. The whole idea of fermentation and how the bacteria lactobacilli and yeast create magic. I am big into whole foods, as I suffer from IBS I like to keep things as simple as possible.

Upon researching sourdough I hear people talking about einkorn and how its the most easily digested flour and it tastes amazing. I google it and see it's golden interior looking like some 24-carat gold slice of bread and I'm sold. So  I'm on youtube watching tutorials on how to make an einkorn sourdough starter. I bought some flour from Amazon, then I start the process I mix 48 grams of flour and 30 grams of water. 

I do 10g starter, 30 grams water, 48g flour, for a few days seeing some activity not a lot of rising. Start googling why my starter isn't rising start getting worried. I start increasing ratios then feeds and I'm seeing more activity its doubling at the 1:3:5 but its got a dough-like consistency. It sinks, so I change it to 1:3:3, and then it floats which is great, but the rise isn't there. Okay lets up the ratio of flour im feeding, so i do a 1:5:5 lots of activity, a bit of rising, and floats. 

So I come to the 3-week mark, I feed it the night before I'm about to make the levan for my bread, check the morning after and it's just flat with no activity. I try and make a levan with it regardless and it was a disaster haha. 

Okay so moral of the story, things arent as easy as they look. Sourdough starter is a living being and needs consistent temperature and feedings for days. How do I come back from this start completely from fresh? 

I'm not going to make an einkorn starter anymore, just going to go with a combination of wholegrain rye & bread flour like the majority. How does that sound? 

My whole family makes fun of me for wanting to make bread, they don't understand I'm determined to do it

I'll include a few pics of my old starter. 

Thanks, Guys
