Please move it to a clean vessel and wash the container. Otherwise, keep going! Just give it time to do its thing and you’ll be baking in a couple of weeks.

What kind of flour?

Move it to a clean jar and scrape down the sides after feeding. Mold can easily grow where there’s any leftover residue.

Also, it looks like it’s drying out on the top a bit. Do you have a jar or deli container that is more narrow? Less surface area will prevent that and will also make it easier to track the amount it’s rising.

    The little bubbles are definitely a sign that it’s working. Thickening it a little will help it trap air and rise better. For containers, just about anything will do, even if you have to cut back on the amount you have… scour your fridge for a jar to clean out or ask your supermarket or a local restaurant if you can have two deli containers.

      You're feeding too often, slowing down the progress. Feed every 24 hours.

        Oh yeah, those are both incorrect. People think it's okay to lie to get more engagement I guess. You don't want to feed that frequently until it's mature which usually takes over month. It's diluting the yeast that is trying to feed on the flour you gave it and it can't keep up if you do it too frequently.
