My cousin's wife in Denver called my sourdough 'sad' after one bite.

She said it tasted like I'd baked it with tap water, which honestly stung because I'd been working on that starter for 6 months. Anyone else had a 'helpful' comment that just wrecked your baking confidence?

Wait, tap water is fine though, right? Denver's water is actually pretty good for sourdough. Maybe she just doesn't like tangy starters.

Yeah, @the_angela, Denver's soft water is a secret weapon for a milder starter.

Could be the chlorine, not the minerals.
