I started my first starter last week with freshly ground whole wheat flour. I've been following King Arthur's starter and feeding recommendations from the Sourdough Starter blog. The starter is now 9 days old and hasn't grown at all, let alone double. It has gotten a nice aroma and some bubbles, but no sign of growth. Our house stays around 67-68 degrees. It sits in a mason jar on the kitchen counter with the lid barely screwed on. I've read through all King Arthur troubleshooting blogs and can't figure out why it's not growing or double in size yet.
