I just got done feeding my first attempts at making a starter from scratch. One thing I didn't realize is how important it is to clean all of the discarded starter from every surface while its still wet. It's kinda messy haha.

Oh yeah that stuff is like concrete when it dries up. Already had to replace my bin. Good luck with your starter, exciting! Mine is a year and a half old now. Amazing how it just keeps going
