Rant: My sourdough starter is a different beast now than it was in 2021
Honestly, back in 2021 during that big lockdown in Portland, my starter was so weak it made flat, dense bricks. Last week, after feeding it rye flour for a month, it finally gave me a perfect, airy crumb. Has anyone else's starter personality completely changed over the years?

But what if it's just the flour change and not some big yeast takeover?

Oh man, the "starter personality" thing is so real. I read this whole article about how the wild yeast in your house air basically moves in and takes over your starter after a while. So that 2021 version probably had totally different local microbes than what's in there now, especially if you changed up the flour.
