I used this recipe starting about 2 weeks ago. After the first day i had significant rise with the whole wheat flour. Day 2 seemed to do ok but not great and while there was no rise there were some bubbles at the top. When I went to the every 12 hour feedings it seems like my starter tried to die. There were no more bubbles and no rise for almost 6 days. For the last few days all i have are 1-3 bubbles on the suface prior to feeding and no visible rise. How do i get this thing to grow? I have been at temperatures between 70-75 degrees the whole time and its smell has taken on a very viengary aroma but again no rise and very very little activity. Hi Mike, There could be a few different things happening, such as your water, etc. Give the hotline a call so that we can help troubleshoot in person. ~ MaryJane
