Hi KAF: My starter never looks like your pictures. I discard and feed once a week and keep it in the KAF crock in the refrigerator. My starter always has the consistency of marshmallow creme and I never see any liquid. What am I doing wrong? It is possible your starter might need a kick start to get it going as it might not be ripening completely between feedings. I would take four ounces out and leave it at room temperature (70F) for a day or two, feeding it every 12 hours. You should start to see increased activity by the end of the 24 hours. If not, keep it out another 24 hours, feeding again every 12 hours. It might also need a little nutrition kickstart: try subbing in half rye or whole wheat flour in the first feeding. Let us know how it goes! ~Kim@KAF
