Hi Grethen, are you creating a starter from scratch? This isn't too uncommon during the early days of starter development, so I think it's fine to continue. Are you feeding equal parts by weight of starter, water and flour, according to our recipe? If you happen to be feeding equal parts by cups this results in a much more liquid-like consistency, which can be more prone to separating in this way.
