Try a 1:5:4 before bed with whole wheat and then if you get up in the morning the starter is flattened, full of bubbles and has a strong acidic smell when you open the jar. If it’s not there yet, let it sit longer before you use it. I find that leaving it in the fridge for 2-3 days to get sourness can often result in a flat loaf and acetic acetone flavors. Also if you do this and aren’t used to adding whole wheat to your starter the bread will ferment faster so watch that bulk fermentation! #sourdoughstarter #sourdoughteacher #sourdoughtips #sourdoughtipsandtricks
