Never underestimate Google-- search under: define "hooch" sourdough
Care and Feeding: Hooch Aside from weekly feeding, the only other
thing you need to worry about is hooch. Hooch is a layer of watery
liquid (often dark) that contains alchohol. It smells a bit like beer,
because it is a bit like beer - but don't drink it! Hooch builds up in
your starter, especially in the fridge. Just pour it off or stir it
back in. It doesn't hurt anything. If your starter is looking dry,
stir it back in. If your starter is plenty wet, pour it off. Just
remember that hooch is nothing to worry about!
