Making a Sourdough starter with Water kefir

Toast

I am using wholegrain rye flour with water kefir and i do no discarding, its already day 12 but theres only bubbles no rising or doubling in size , does anyone share similar experience? Or maybe you just have some advice?

Do you normally get lots of effervescence in the water kefir liquid without flour?
