So, I am on day 7 of my starter, and have been religiously feeding it every twelve hours with the correct amounts. Like another poster, my starter does not seem very bubbly on top, nor does it seem to be doubling. The temp is around low to mid 70s in here. The first day, I use KA white whole wheat to get it started, and it was nice and bubbly and doubled after sitting for 24 hours, but after I got to the point of doing the twice a day feedings, that disappeared. Now I have a pancake batter consistency with few bubbles on top and no doubling. The only thing different I did in the begining is that I mis-read the instructions and started with 1 cup of water and 1 cup of White Whole Wheat flour. It seemed to like that. Then I re-read and realized my error and went to the 1 cup flour and 1/2 cup water after the discard. Try discarding half of the starter before your next feeding and use a rye flour to feed for a day or two. Be sure to discard before every feeding! ~Amy
