Stinky sourdough starter
I have just tried to create my first sour dough starter. I was going
well until today when my wife noticed a foul odor eminating from the batch. When I came home from work I noticed that little bead like granuals floating in the mix. It definately smells bad. Is it possible that this normal? My apologies if something about this is in the FAQ but I am trying to find out fast since my wife is demanding that I toss the batch! help James

Stinky sourdough starter
Toss the batch and get one (free) from carls friends or SDI or one of the
folks on this list. Your starter shouldn't smell rotten. Phil "jryden" wrote in message oups.com... I have just tried to create my first sour dough starter.

When I came home from work I noticed that little bead like granuals floating in the mix. It definately smells bad. Is it possible that this normal? It depends at what time in this process. First two days, it can be quite stinky. It's part of the shakeout process. It will go away. If that was in the first two days and you toss it because of that and do it again, you keep tossing and never get a good starter. My apologies if something about this is in the FAQ but I am trying to find out fast since my wife is demanding that I toss the batch! See above! The granules floating - hard to tell what this could be without knowing what kind of flour, ratio of flour/water, timing - are they moving? Samartha
