I’ve had my starter going strong for a year. We had been using a Berkey for our water filtration, but due to the cost of the filters going way up, we decided to try something else, making sure it filters out chlorine. My starter hasn’t been the same since. I’ve fed it well, but it just doesn’t smell as nicely sour as it used to, even though it bubbles plenty. And the consistency is different, less foamy more stringy slimy. Can different water affect it that much?
