What looks like hummus, and smells like Banana’s Foster? Goo, that’s what. For the last few feedings, when I take the plastic cover off of the starter, I am overcome with a peculiar, fruity, grain alcohol scent. The scent mellows as I stir the starter, reserve 1/4 cup, add the 1/2 cup lukewarm water, and 2/3 cup bread flour. But upon leaving, the fermentation starts again, the starter turns from a lumpy porridge consistency, to a bubbling liquid. Let’s just say I would not want to consume any starter for fear of intoxication the likes that I have never experienced before. I mean, this stuff smells positively hallucinogenic! But, only one more day, one more feeding, and the process is complete.
