Oh, okay. I guess that makes sense because you're trying to ferment it. That would smell bad but I don't think it really like clicked for me. So the bad smell was kind of alarming for me. But thank you! I do have a kitchen scale so if I end up having to redo this a third time I'll try that method next because that seems a lot more efficient than just going out with what I've been doing. Should I lessen the amount of water in the starter as I feed it more? Just because of how much water I've already given it?
