Hi!!! My starter is 10 days old - following your guide 4 ounces starter + 1/2 cup water + scant cup AP flour (I dont have a scale). Keeping it in a tall mason jar in my microwave with a cup of hot water to keep it warm. I’m seeing large bubbles, it smells pretty good, but it’s NOT rising much and is not as bubbly as your pictures. Maybe rises 10%? I think it was getting chilly at night when I started it, so I moved it to the warm microwave around day 5. I started it with All Purpose because thats all I can get my hands on right now. Do I need to go back to 24 hr feedings? Was starting with AP not giving it enough yeast to get going? I want it to rise!
