Rye starter smell. Smelled good, not anymore.
The starter is little over a week old. I used half rye half whole grain (integrale). I feed it daily with a 1:1:1 ratio and keep it at room temperature.
It used to smell great. First with hints of corn, then pleasant apple smell, but for the last couple of days I got a strong unpleasant smell, almost like nail polish remover.
Is it normal? Is it bad? Can it be fixed?
