My starter smells very alcoholic, I have used the peter reihnhart pinapple juice starter recipe and used wholewheat. Should I throw this out and start again or can I save it? It's on the last stage and is very active just smells really strong like nail polish remover.
Thanks
Hi, thanks for the advice total newbie what does 1:3:3 mean?
Thanks
It will smell like acetone in early stages, and also when it is hungry. So, as Abe says, feed it a bit more. Even a 1:2:2 ratio is good (so, 50 grams of starter, 100 grams of water and 100 grams of flour). And have patience... :)
