I've got a starter which has been going pretty well, made a few good loaves with it. Recently it just seems to be less active though.
i was thinking about feeding it with rye flour, I've always used normal strong white up until now. Would this be a good idea does anybody think?

Hello Slowclimb,
It is fairly common to give starters a boost with a component of rye flour. I use about 20% rye and 80% wheat in mine. If you want a particularly 'white' loaf you can build the levain for the loaf from a small amount of the starter and the amount of rye in the finished dough is very small.
Good luck with your projects.

That's great cheers, I'll give it a go.
