Hello! I am a first-timer when it comes to sourdough starter, and I used the KAF recipe for it using unbleached all-purpose flour. The first 24 hours actually showed fantastic development - it actually doubled in size! - but that was literally the ONLY day it's done anything. Every day since (and I am now on day 11), it's seemed stagnant, not rising at all. In fact, while for a few days it smelled yummy and sourdough-y, now it barely even smells tangy; it pretty much just smells (and looks) like flour and water. I've gone through a TON of flour, so I'm wondering if it's even worth it to continue to use up flour to try and revive it or if I should just start over? Thank you for any advice you can give!
