I've been nurturing my starter since day 1 and following all instructions precisely and I'm currently 8 days in and I'm not seeing my starter double in size. At first I thought it was too cold in the house (69 degrees) so I tried leaving it in the oven with the light on and then I started thinking it was too warm in there! I found a spot in the house thats about 75 degrees so I'm trying this spot. Any ideas??
I had a lot of trouble getting my starter to grow, as well, until I ramped up the heat. I found it really needed to be above 70°F to grow well, so hopefully that 75°F temp. will do the trick for you. Good luck - PJH
