Hi Jessica, it sounds like your starter is off to a good start – keep up with the all-purpose feedings at 12 hour intervals for 3-4 more days to see if it comes into its own. If it doesn't, go back to a half whole wheat and half all-purpose flour feeding to see if that kick starts the activity. The hooch tends to develop when the starter is left to rest unfed for a few days at a time, especially in the fridge. Use the rising and bubbling action of your starter to gauge health rather than the amount of hooch it produces. Good luck! Kye@KAF
