Hi, So I have had my starter going for about 6 months now. The past month or so my starter has had am orange-ish tint to it... but I kept using it. Then this week before I made my loaf the top was covered in mold. I normally only feed my starter once a week and keep it on a shelf. Since it has been winter and its now warming up I think the rising temp is causing this problem. So I dumped out the mold and saved a little of the starter from the bottom, and my starter appears to be fine its rising well and all. But it smells like paint thinner sooo bad. Should I discard it and start over? or should I try the feeding twice a day until its better? also is it still safe to eat, due to it having mold in it? (I hope so bc I have eaten half the loaf so far lol)
