\n<\/svg>\nWhat to do when a starter looks flat, dry, sweaty or watery <\/h5>\n Pour off any surplus liquid, refresh the starter with a feed of flour and water to reach the consistency of thick custard or porridge. Use bottled water if your tap water smells of chlorine and check the room temperature is 22-24\u00b0C\/70-75\u00b0F. Check the starter regularly and shorten the time between feeds to keep the bubbles coming.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n \n
