My starter is four days old, I've fed it at about 12 hour intervals. I am using a clear plastic container with a loose rubber lid. It does not look at all like the starters you have photographed at the top of the post. Mine "separates" into three layers. A 1-1/2" thick bottom layer of pretty homogeneous paste with no bubbles. Over it, a very thin 1/4" middle layer of a clear/yellowish liquid. Over that a 3" top layer of foamy paste. Is this normal? I've been stirring it at every feeding.
