Using stinky starter
I love to make sourdough pancakes with my extra starter, and wonder if it's possible to use starter that smells like acetone for pancakes? I know how to revive the starter, but most of it will go in the compost and I'd love to use it if it's possible. I assume the alcohol smell would evaporate when it's cooked. Has anyone done this successfully? Or, are the bacteria in the starter inedible at this point?
Thanks!
