Sourdough Starter - Day 2

A much less exciting day yesterday. As you can see from the above pic from the morning, we're getting some good gas production, but it's gotten quite thin, so it might not be able to trap the gas and actually rise. I can't tell from the side pic if it rose and fell overnight or not.

Much less impressive activity when I went to feed it last night, but you can see from the foam that we're still bubbling away. I think we're getting some serious alcohol production, which is contributing to the thinness. I've heard some people pour off the hooch, but I've never done it.

Instead of using half the previous starter when feeding, I'll be going with 1:1:1 by volume to try to thicken it up, but I'm considering switching to 1:1:1 by weight as per one of my books, King Arthur, and probably our benevolent mod @Noved@lemmy.ca.
