I am a complete rookie at this but I love sourdough bread so I tried a starter on my own. I used 1 cup whole wheat flower (organic) and 1/2 cup water. I fed it 24 hours later with a cup of enriched flour and 1/2 cup of water then again the next day. I then fed twice daily using enriched organic white flour for all the feeding. My starter is goo. This is my second attempt at this! Both have failed, the first I think the started died and this one I’m still working on but it’s really gooey. I don’t really know what it should look like but I’m not sure goo is correct. What am I missing here? It seems so simple yet I’m now on my second attempt and I must be doing something wrong.
