 Sourdough Well it's been 2 weeks since then and I haven't thrown it away, I've been feeding it and now it smells tart almost a bit fruity and a bit like that smell you get from a permanent marker, however I'm concerned that the starter doesn't rise... well barely  |

| The smell sounds perfect. Dump all but 2 ounces and keep feeding!

| Sourdough I tried baking a loaf of sourdough but it barely rose, I gave it almost 7 hours to rise... almost no signs actually of rising.... Is my starter dead? Last edited by Simbebe60; 10-31-2006 at 02:12 PM. Reason: Bad grammer |

| I would not quit on it just yet. Throw out all but 2 ounces of your starter. Add 1 ounce each of flour and water. Give it a goog stir to make sure it's throroughly blended. Let it sit for 8-12 hours and then add 2 ounces each of flour and water ands repeats the blending and waiting. Then add 4 ounces each... you should start to see very visible volumen growth. If not, we'll come up with Plan B.
