After 10 days of beginning my sourdough start, it seemed really lackluster so I searched the internet for troubleshooting tips and read somewhere that if I fed it more flour than water, it would perk up. So, I fed it with about 10 grams more flour than water (70 g water to 80g flour) for a few days and it worked....I was able to bake 2 successful sourdough loaves but now my starter smells kind of like acetone. Is it safe to use?
