After reading the various comments above, I see that I may have to start from scratch, as it seems I made a few errors when starting out : I used only whole-gain wheat flour (rather than a mix of two types of flour) and I used a 100gm flour / 50 ml water ratio rather than 1:1 (with a teaspoon of honey dissolved in the 50ml of water). After 48 hrs. there is no bubbling or movement and only a faint smell (not moldy) of grain, almost like wheat beer. (was stored lightly covered in cupboard) Should I try to feed it now, or just leave it be for another day or two? Or better to start again with 1:1 ratio (and use white / wheat flour mixture to start)
