Thanks so much for that advice. I am now keeping my starter in the microwave with a pyrex full of boiling water. I am definitely seeing better activity than in the oven, but it is still barely rising although I can see bubbles throughout - a few large and many small. I think I am going to try switching to a once a day feeding schedule - will that help do you think? I am currently feeding my starter a 1:1 whole wheat and bread flour mix and doing 100% hydration. Any tips? I am feeling discouraged that it's been almost 2 weeks and I'm hardly seeing any rise except for that one time I put it in my oven with the light on!
