I finally asked my neighbor why her sourdough starter always looks perfect
She was on her porch in Cincinnati last Tuesday and said, 'I keep it in a mason jar with a loose lid, and I feed it exactly 50 grams of flour and 50 grams of water every morning at 7, no matter what.' It made me realize my own 'whenever I remember' schedule is probably why mine smells like nail polish remover half the time. What's the most specific tip that saved your starter?

Smells like nail polish remover" means you're starving it, right?

That acetone smell is basically my starter's cry for help. My feeding schedule is so bad it probably has trust issues. Guess I should try setting an alarm.
