HI Gene, I would say next time you make your poolish in the machine, save out about 1/4 cup. Put it in a non-reactive bowl and give it 2 ounces each flour and water. Lightly cover it and let it sit overnight. If you get good bubbles, you can start with a normal feeding schedule and larger amounts of flour and water. If not, you can try again with your next poolish until you have a starter that perks up and becomes healthy and bubbly. Good luck! ~ MJ
