I’ll have to try it. The starter looks kind of disgusting, doesn’t it?
I’ve gotten to like it, since it’s like a living, breathing pet. It can smell icky sometimes though ;)
It won’t ‘go bad’ unless you don’t feed it often enough. As long as it can eat and reproduce, it won’t develop any mold or anything. It seems it’s when I forget to feed it that spores or whatever it is can grow on it.
