Hi Mini! It sounds like there is a little too much liquid being used to feed your starter. Sourdough starter should be the consistency of thick pancake batter, so we'd recommend holding back some water next time you feed your starter. You may also want to check out our Mainting your sourdough starter blog article, for our recommended feeding amounts for a starter. Your starter will strengthen over time and become better at providing a stronger rise for your bread, so we'd encourage you to give it a little more time to develop. Happy baking! Morgan@KAF
