Sour starters

I've recently made a couple of sour dough starters.

They smell. Sour but wow, not pleasant. Is this normal? Also, mine seemed to go bubbly in a day and I was under the impression that it should take a few days, should I be concerned about the starters I have?

I took the time to wash my mason jars and lids in the dishwasher and then boil them for a half hour to make sure they were sterile.

Thanks for any insight!

I consider myself somewhat of an expert, since I have been making sour dough bread for at least 12 years now. I would be glad to send you a dried starter that you can reconstitute, and I also have a starter recipe that I can give you to make an excellent starter for regular bread
