Replying to myself here. Just looked up acetone smells in the archives,
looks like I shouldnt worry about it (at least according to a post by
Samartha, which considerably puts me at ease). Although I also found some
meantion of plastic containers causing acetoney odors, whereas I store my
starter in a white plastic Cool Whip bowl in the fridge. Perhaps a change to
glass....
