Sourdough Starter Day 4

  • In the morning of day 4, I stirred the starter, discarded half (around 4 ounces), and fed it 4 ounces all-purpose flour (3/4 cup + 2 tablespoons) and 4 ounces filtered water (1/2 cup), mixing it up so there was no dry flour left.
  • In the evening of day 4, I stirred the starter, discarded half (around 4 ounces), and fed it 4 ounces all-purpose flour (3/4 cup + 2 tablespoons) and 4 ounces filtered water (1/2 cup), mixing it up so there was no dry flour left.

On the fourth day, activity was starting to die down and the starter was thickening up. The smell, unfortunately, was still awful.
