Perhaps I may have to try a fresh starter also. My starter from Brian
Mailman/Dusty has begun to get a funny smell after refridgeration. Sort of
acetoney. I "wash" it after taking it out and the warm bubbling starter has
no trace of the aroma, but a few days after returning to the fridge it
comes back. Doesnt seem to affect my bread at all, but it still concerns
me.

And no I dont keep a bottle of acetone in my fridge.
