I'm making sourdough for the first time. I started the starter 6 days ago. This morning, when I went to feed it, there was a layer of mold on it. I scraped it off and refreshed as usual by transferring it to a clean bowl, adding a cup of flour and some water. Is this ok or do I need to dump it and start over? It seemed fine under the mold and has a fairly yeasty smell. Anyone else have this happen? Thoughts? Thanks in advance!
