Are you using equal amounts by weight or by volume? And what kind of wheat flour? Sometimes the more organic, stone ground, super hearty flours will absorb more water. The starter should have the consistency of a thick muffin batter. How are you covering your starter jar? Too much air might be getting into your jar as well, you might want to move to something else. I like using either a cheesecloth or a paper towel.

I wonder if this is happening because I live in a dry climate?!
