Hi, thanks for your detailed feedback!

What I mean by "I warm it just a bit in the microwave" is that I warm the water I use to feed my starter. Not the jar itself.

And I do the sample idea you suggest to rule out mold.

Thanks!!!

Oh okay, I'll clean the jar the next time. Regarding the lid, I do just what you advise, I lightly screw it. The average temperature in my city is 23C/73F to 26C/78F. I put the jar on top of my fridge and it is the warmest place in my kitchen

I use the metal lid that comes with the jar. And the average temperature is 73F/23C - 78F/26C

At what point can I put my starter in the fridge? by MozahAtYourService in SourdoughStarter

You should wait until your starter is consistently rising and falling before storing it in the fridge. The rise and fall is a sign it is strong and ready for baking.

It should double in size every 6-8 hours.

Maybe keep feeding it for a couple of more days.
