I have nurtured and feed and the float test is OK but the smell is like wallpaper paste (not surprising I suppose considering paste is often made from flour and water).
I fed for several days with spelt flour as I want to make spelt bread, but due to the smell I changed to white flour, after feeding it smells a bit yeasty but then reverts back to the paste smell. I threw away the liquid from the top before the last 3 feeds.
I was hoping to make bread tonight/tomorrow but don't want to waste the time and ingredients if there is something else I need to do, please can anyone help?
Also, is it OK to use a Snugglesafe pet heat pad to keep it warm?
