I made the two batches at about 4PM. They pop the lid about every twenty to
thirty minutes.

Each has 5 ounces flour (one has AP, the other bread flour), 3 1/4 ounces
water (cool) and 1 teaspoon dry yeast.

If your starter doesn't really pop the top off a sealed plastic container,
then something might be wrong with the yeast.
