I used my bread makers recipe for a sourdough starter. It looked fine a few hours in, plastic wrap was bulged and it said to stir after 24 hours, but at that time it looked separated, and not bubbly. Not knowing what one should look like, I thought it was the temperature of the room being a little colder at 66 but after 30 hours of nothing much happening anymore, then reading this information, I realize there was a big portion of instructions missing. I was to let it sit 2-3 days, nothing about feeding. Would you suggest I start over with fresh ingredients ? I already plan to use your recipe and instructions. Still a noob about breads.
