Oh no ... I'm sorry about your sourdough. Hmmm. I don't think you did something wrong.
What I do is to ...
- Mix 10g water and 10g flour (5g/5g is fine. Just to mix two in same weight)
- Add 10g water and 10g flour to the mixture next day. Stir the starter well.
- Continue step 2 for 3-5 days.
- Store the starter in fridge.
If you stop feeding sourdough, it stops bubbling as there is no food (wild yeast eats flour and makes Pupser, that's the bubble).
I use a Weck jar or a container with a slice of paper towel in between its lid and body so that it's not closed completely.
I wish I were your neighbor and hang my starter on your door knob ... 😁
THank youuu... I will try again. Your measurements seem much more reasonable, I always felt to waist so much flour with my recipe.
