sadness....is my mother starter dead? help!
uh oh....
not sure if i killed it. i have a stiff wild seed starter from Peter Reinhardts artisan breads everyday recipe. Seemed to be doing fine. even made a few great loaves. First time i refreshed it after being in the fridge- everything was great- doubled nicely....and i thought it might not because i went about 10 days in the fridge. Second time refreshing it last night....almost no rise. not sure what to do now....start over? used it this to make a bread starter earlier in the week and that doubled fine. But last night when i went to mix the dough with the starter, it has not risen much if at all.... Does that mean it died this week? Can it be revived?
thanks for all your help in advance...i'm rather new to this.
