Poolish
I am a beginner....! Thursday night I made a poolish so I could bake my first bread on Friday, leaving it out overnight. It turns out I cannot bake the bread until today (Saturday)...so I put the poolish in the refrigerator. It doesn't look the same anymore and is watery underneath the surface. Should I start over again, or can this be used. Sorry for the novice request! But I have my my shirtsleeves rolled up and ready to rock!





Stir it and continue. Unless it has become moldy, it will be ok.

THANK YOU!!!
Use the poolish and pay attention to the taste it imparts in your bread. You'll be pleasantly surprised.
