There is liquid on top of my starter. What is it and what do I do?
This liquid is commonly known as "hooch". It basically means that your starter is hungry or lacking nutrients and you often see it if you miss a feeding or are late to feed. You can pour it off or stir it in. I tend to just stir it in when I feed. You are more likely to see this if you use white flour because it doesn't contain as many nutrients. That's why I recommend rye flour.
