Yikes – the starter hasn’t taken at all, and smells funny. When I say funny I really mean yucky. On all the other starters I’ve made the bubbles were bubbling after day one and by day two that fantastic and distinctive sourdough smell was coming through. So this one goes in the bin and tomorrow I start again, this time with Doves Farm stoneground organic rye which I’ve used before.
Found another post that sounds similar to this, so maybe I’ll consider the container as well as the flour.
Yesterday’s 50/50 spelt made some excellent toast this morning so it’s not all too bad!
