Help with Spelt Sourdough Starter kit

I have just mixed the 100 gms with 110 gms or mils of water as per instructions but it looks like dough. Quite thick is this normal. I have to stir in 12 hours. I assumed it would be more liquidy if you know what I mean.

Starter tends to be super thick at the beginning of fermentation. Depending on how long your ferment period is, it should thin out considerably.
Mine takes 4 days to go from looking like bread dough to looking like a very thick soup (but mind it does separate - don't panic about that either, just whisk it before you need to use it or feed it).
