What am I doing wrong?
I started this on June 10, and yesterday I realized I was only supposed to have 50g of starter left in my jar. This whole time, I’d just been removing 50g of starter instead of discarding down to 50g. So yesterday I tossed the extra and fed it 50g water + 50g flour.
Today it didn’t rise at all, it just looks like this. It also smells like alcohol. I have no clue what I’m doing right or wrong. I even tried baking bread yesterday and it was TERRIBLE. It basically turned into one giant bowl of starter. When I baked it, it was gummy and tasted really sour.
* I use AP flour and room temp filter water.
