Sourdough Starter – Day 4

Well today’s certainly looked as though something was happening. It was a lot more like pancake batter and had some bubbles in it, plus when I went to divide it in half it was quite difficult to separate it as all the strands really were sticking together. My small amount of knowledge makes me think this is the gluten? It also has a smell, not a bad smell (its kinda yeasty) but not citrusy as described in my book. At any rate here we are:

And then I did the same thing as yesterday, threw away half, added 60g water and 60g bread flour. My container is getting dirtier and dirtier and starting to look more like a science experiment. Here we are after refreshing, it looks almost identical to yesterday:

my opinion is that you are on the right track…I’m saying that because it is COMPLETELY different than what I experienced, and mine was an utter failure. Continued good luck to you!
