Hi! I am making this sourdough starter for the first time. I am about 6 days into it, and I am unsure if it’s wrong or if I killed it! I have been following the starter guide recipe. Initially used whole wheat, then AP to feed. It doesn't look like it grows at all between feedings, and it is pourable. It does bubble though. The smell was sour in the first 2-3 days but now is not sour. It smelled like flour the last two days, And now smells like alcohol? I did use a copper measuring cup a few times.
