My starter has stalled out. I started it on Sat. March 2nd and it's still not doubling. Today is March 13th. It's active and bubbling, smells ripe and rises an inch or so in my 32 ounce yogurt container I'm using for this. I'm really wanting to make sourdough bread and I want the starter to be right for it.
It sounds like your starter is quite active and ready to use. However, you do not want you to store it in a yogurt container because the high acidity of the starter will break down the plastic and leach toxins into your starter. We recommend glass or stoneware as a safe alternative. Betsy@KAF
