I think my starter is suffering from the early rise bacteria giving off carbon dioxide after reading through this article. Day 2 it rose very quickly and then hasn't risen since but remains active and bubbly on top. I am on day 6 and will continue to feed 2x a day but can't get ahold of pineapple juice right now. I'm wondering if doing half AP and half Pumpernickel flour on my next feeding would be a good way to liven it up. If not, should I just persist, patiently with feeding?
