I've been pretty happy with my starter but would sometimes like the bread flavor to be a bit more sour. I was thinking maybe I need a different starter unil I saw this link http://www.northwestsourdough.com/sourdough-starters-and-temperature/ Have I deflavored my starters by storing them in the fridge which I thought was the right way to go? Is what the article speaks of more theory than practice or have I caused a problem? I think my starters still smell great when well-refreshed and the flavor is good if somewhat mild...If the reason they're mild is because of what the article suggests, can I revive the original flavor, perhaps by feeding with whole wheat as one of your answers suggested for a damaged starter? Thanks!
