Eeek my new starter smells like wine!
Help a lady…I searched the message boards and this didn’t come up yet.
At day 3 acclimating with Big Mama’s baby starter, it had a strong hootch alcohol smell. So I refrigerated overnight.
Day 4 I fed it again instead of baking. Better, more of a wine smell.
Day 5 I divided it into 2 quart jars and fed again…now it’s stronger wine smell. I’ll refrigerate overnight but then what?
The interwebs say alcohol smell means you need to feed more…so do I do that again?
