Spent 6 months trying to get my sourdough starter right
I started my starter back in January, fed it every day, kept it warm, did everything the blogs said. It would bubble a little but never doubled in size. I tried different flours, changed the water, even bought a fancy thermometer. After 6 months of flat loaves, I found out my tap water had too much chlorine. Switched to bottled water and it took off in 3 days. Anyone else have a dumb simple fix that took forever to find?

My tap water was the exact same problem. I spent 4 months thinking I was just bad at baking, then a neighbor mentioned his starter died until he switched to bottled water. Felt like an idiot for not trying it sooner.
