Last year we tried making both a sour dough starter and a ginger beer plant. They both started off well, but after a few days started going mouldy. Since then I haven't made another attempt in fear of them going mouldy again. What did I do wrong? They were kept in bowls and loosely covered with I think cling film or a tea towel, and kept in the kitchen. Should I be sterilising equipment?
