So I'm trying to get a starter started (again) as of last Thursday. I'm using the process in "Bread Baking" By Daniel MiMuzio. I began (1st day) with equal parts of rye flour and whole wheat and an equal mounta of H2O (1/3, 1/3, 2/3cup or 100% hydration) the first day. Then after that feeding twice a day with 1/3 cup starter, 1/3 cup bread flour and 1/2 cup H2O or 60% hydration. I'm in my fourth day and when I feed "it" I get bubbles and it smells better. I get liquid separated on the top between feedings. I don't really see it rise much if at all.
Is this normal? Shouldn't it rise - at least some? Or am I wasting flour again?
