Hi there! I've found this while looking for ways to tell if my 10-day old starter is ready for baking.

Its been consistently rising for the last 3 days with lots of bubbles and froth on top but I don't ever see it fully double in size-its always just a bit under. And it doesn't pass the float test :( I feed and discard every morning and do a feeding 12 hours later before bed, and smells a bit like vinegar. Would you say it's ready for baking?
