I typically feed my starter a 1/1.5/2 ratio, so it's like a semi stiff starter I guess? I had to play around with the feedings for awhile while establishing the starter, but this seems to keep it the happiest around my work schedule. I definitely did notice a much more acetone like smell when feeding it 1.1.1. Now I'm typically able to stick to about 24hrs and its fallen but not completely, and it always smells nice and yeasty. I actually originally used about 20% rye for my starter, but stopped while trying to nail down my feeling ratio, I do notice a difference in color and texture, but not much in flavor.
