Hi! I am not new to KAF products (or the wonderful store in Norwich!!), but am new to the blog, so I really hope I haven't missed a previous answer to this basic question. I have tried to make my own starter following the KAF Cookbook, but have ended up with green fur on top of it (eeeeeww). I should probably add that I live in a very humid part of the country (South Carolina) - maybe that had something to do with it, although I thought the AC would take care of it. Any suggestions? I know I can buy the starter from the catalogue, and I'll probably end up doing so, but I'd like to give it one more try (I am kind of stubborn).
Thank you!!
Whoa, never heard of mold growing on sourdough - must have gotten something into it. I'd give it another try. Keep it covered with plastic wrap this time, see if that helps- PJH
