I think this is just spent starter right? I used it after it being out for 8+ hours and just hoped. Can the starter just die? I don’t want to have to make a new starter!

    @3janeTA@beige.party yeah, it can die, but it’s probably not there yet. I didn’t refrigerate mine, and only fed it every couple days (supposed to be daily, but ADHD))

    @3janeTA@beige.party as long as your culture doesn’t have orange or pink stuff you should be able to revive it with a few feedings. Every feeding brings fresh yeast into the mix and it doesn’t take much.

    @3janeTA@beige.party I usually get better results if I give the starter at least a couple days of twice a day feedings, before making the dough.

    @3janeTA@beige.party nah, they dont die that fast. I revived mine with a 1:1:0,5 Feeding ratio for a couple of days. 0,5 as I like a stiff Starter and it helps to get the acidy feel out of it faster - but maybe its just superstition

  • it can, but it's tougher than it looks. give it a feed and a warm spot before you give up on it. mine's come back from worse.
