I fed my starter and left it out for two days. See attached pic. It smells like beer (which as I understand it is good), the top is dried out a bit with a rubbery surface, underneath it seems nice and active with no signs of mold. I can't tell if the white spots are surface mold or if its just the dried out flour. enter image description here

it looks like it's just dried out on top and a little overfermented. pour off as much liquid as you can and feed it using a small portion of this starter and a lot of flour and water, i would recommend a 1-10-10 ratio.

  • Thanks. I'll give that a go. Is it safe to assume if it were mold that it'd clearly smell as such? Nothing about it smells "off" to me.... – Brad Aug 30 '16 at 17:50
  • @Brad - Yeah, you'd have no doubt if it was mold. – PoloHoleSet Aug 30 '16 at 18:46
