Can you see those bubbles on the picture? Also, the starter, when it is ripe, usually doubles in size after refreshing or feeding. That is how the sourdough starter should look like when it is ready to be used in a recipe for a sourdough bread. To see those bubbles, it is best to use a clear glass jar or a plastic container.

You might need to adjust slightly the amount of water you use in this recipe.
