Bread starter should smell sour. It is the chemical action of yeasts digesting the sugar in the starter that produces gases and causes the baked product to rise.
OTOH, bread starter should not appear moldy or smell rank.

Who will replace colombo's sourdough bread?
I have checked out two brands of sour dough bread still available. San Louis Sour Dough Bread, I found the sour dough taste to be slightly stronger then Colombo. I actually prefer this San Louis Sour dough ov3er Colombo, so this has soften the blow of losing Colombo Sour Dough Bread. The one bread that came in a close second was Boudini Sour Dough Bread. The sour taste was not as strong as San Louis. Beware of a lot of sour dough imposter's, if it looks like white bread, it is!!!!!!

What is sour culture in the bread industry?
Sour culture, in the context of bread, refers to an active culture of naturally occurring lactobacilli and yeasts that is used in the traditional and ancient process of making bread. It is more common just to refer to this as your "starter" or "sourdough starter," but it is becoming more common to see this as an ingredient on a package of bread. Though sour culture is yeast, it is not baker's yeast, but the naturally occurring yeast culture that has been the leavening agent in bread for thousands of years. (Most modern commercial breads use some chemical leavening agent like baking powder to make bread rise.) There may be variations on the generic sour culture which may be based on different grains which are used in different geographical regions by different cultures, but it is still the basic biological entity historically used in making bread or pastry.

Why can't you use a metal spoon or bowl when making Amish Friendship Bread?
You are not to use a metal spoon or bowl when making Amish Friendship Bread because the recipe is made using sour dough. Sour dough is made by mixing yeast, water, flour and mixing it well. You let it raise and there are several more steps to this, and any good cook book will tell you the rest of the process.The friendship cake is because you take out a portion of this mixture, which is now called a starter, and give it to a friend. You then add more flour and water to your own mixture and let it raise. And you now have more starter to share with the next new friend you meet. It is like having prepetual yeast.This is what the cowboys used and why they were called old sour doughs. Now the reason you should not use a metal spoon or bowl, is because the metal reacts with the starter and it does something to the starter. Personally I have used stainless steel bowls and my sour dough came out all right. But the best bowls and spoons for making sour dough is made from wood. But DUDE I say go for it. Try it

Does sour dough bread help with diabetes?
Neither is great, but of the two, whole wheat would be better. It is a little harder to breakdown into sugar so you will not spike quite as much or as quickly. Actually I've hear quite the contrary. Sourdough bread is sour due to lactic acid released by the bacteria fermenting in the dough. The lactic acid is what keeps the blood sugar from rising.
