My sourdough starter came back to life after a trip to the farmers market

I stopped by the Santa Monica farmers market last weekend and overheard a baker talking about feeding starter with rye flour instead of all-purpose. I tried it when I got home and my sluggish starter finally doubled in size for the first time in weeks! Has anyone else had good results switching up their flour blend?

Bet rye wakes up dormant yeasts better than plain flour does.

Rye is a game changer, @simon_coleman. Fixed my lazy starter overnight lol.
