Tried 2 different sourdough starters side by side for a month. Store rye flour beat my homemade whole wheat by a mile.

Wait, did you use the exact same feeding schedule and water temp for both? Honestly, my homemade whole wheat starter gave me way better flavor after I switched to a stricter feeding routine.

Nah, I gotta push back here. Store bought rye flour is processed differently and usually has additives that make it way more consistent than anything you grind yourself. A whole wheat starter is just harder to keep balanced without that strict schedule you mentioned.
