My sourdough starter went from smelling like gym socks to actual bread in 9 days
I started a starter on March 3rd and by day 4 it smelled like nail polish remover and I almost threw it out. Turns out I was feeding it once a day with tap water, and switching to filtered water plus feeding twice a day fixed it by day 9. Now it doubles in about 4 hours and my first loaf actually rose instead of turning into a hockey puck. Anyone else had a starter that smelled horrible but turned out fine?

Oh wow, I read that the acetone smell is just the yeast being hungry.
