Default Goldrush Sourdough Starter - Need help/advice

Hi guys,

I bought a packet of Goldrush sourdough starter a few days ago and followed
the directions for getting it ready. Got sour smell after 24 hours and kept
it in the oven with the light on for another 3 days. Used it in Mr. Avery's
sourdough biga recipe and it's been over 24 hours now and the biga has
failed to even double. It seems to have risen about 25% of the original
volume. I put the rest of the starter in the fridge. Is there something I
can do to get this starter into better shape or should I just dump it? I
bought some KA organic wheat flour to start another starter. Any help would
be appreciated.

Thanks!,

Thomas
