Absolutely. Personally I think whey smells like dirty feet so I don’t like to use it as a starter. I’m more likely to add 2% salt (or just a bit saltier than normal tasting) and let it spontaneously attract a culture.

Can you add whey to this to ferment? I think I remember you saying you added sauerkraut liquid to things (some condiments) to ferment them. Does whey work the same?
