Submitted by gravityarcher on May 31, 2009 - 10:47pm Is it dead?Hi everyone! Thanks for all your great advice in the past, i've posted here several times before! So, I seemed to have managed to either kill or contaminate my starter. In the past 8 weeks it has really seen less and less activity. I was mixing up a new batch of bread and it just doesnt seem to be bubbling at all. In fact, it now smells weird too. Like... Cheese? I'm not sure, but I know it doesnt smell like it used to. I'd love to hear some suggestions... but I think the answer is to just start over. Anyone?
Thanks! T

Have you
thrown out all but a small portion and then fed it with a good-sized feeding? Multiple feedings per day? How have you been storing/feeding your starter?
Personally, if it smells really weird and isn't giving you any signs of life, I'd toss it and start over just to be on the safe side.
