Goo: Day 7

It smells like a goo-lag in here! Sourdough starter, at least that's what it smells like it is, is growing strong and taking over my house. The starter was up for another feeding, so I discarded all but 1/4 cup, added 1/2 cup lukewarm water, and 2/3 cup bread flour, and stirred. The proportion of rye flour is getting smaller and smaller, but the stink is getting larger, and more potent. The starter truly smells like a combination of sourdough bread, and grain alcohol. Mmm, fermented. We'll see.

Is it just me, or am I the only person who loves the smell of sourdough starter?

lol no you are not the only one
it's a very earthy, organic smell, ranking right up there with gardening for me.
