starter and shape problem
Hello
I am new here and new at trying to start a starter. I did with whole wheat flour last Monday but I am not sure if i did it right. Today is Day 8 yet i do not get the fruity smell or sour smell. yet it does not have a bad smell. It smells like dry cardboard. It grows and bubbles but when i scrape the top the bottom does not look like it has bubbles or honey comb-like look. It looks like a paste. Am I doing it right?I started with whole wheat flour, left it for 48 hours and then fed whole wheat flour again and then the white bread flour.
