Glad you got some laughs. You’re still incorrect. I remember exactly what it smells like. And I still have my original starter, both fed the same flour, both completely different. Again, I keep my starter sealed in the fridge, any trace amounts of small bacteria are overcome by the massive colony of bacteria already there.
Can you please explain how the puratos lab (https://sourdoughlibrary.puratos.com/en/) maintains their collection of starters if they all become the same thing when you feed them the same flour?
What does that have to do with bread? lol.
Then you say: And maybe the defining variable is your local microbiota, not the flour, IDK
Which is it? Does the flour matter or not? lol that was the point I was disagreeing with then you flip flop or something.
Aye caramba man just bake some bread.
Yeah, I can explain that:
"... refreshed every two months with the original flour with which it was made, thereby replicating conditions in the original bakery."

Funny, mh?
Nothing, it means you don't have any idea how "that starter from etsy" smelled.
🙄 You really have issues reading, don't you.
My point was that a bought starter will change at your home, but since your own source shows that it is in fact the flour, you probably should go bake some bread. aY cArAmBa.
