Starter smells like nail polish remover.
Hello!
I've neglected my poor sourdough starter in the refrigerator for far too long...I'm ashamed to admit that it could have been left as long as 3 months. When I took it out to refresh yesterday it had gray hooch on the top and smelled like nail polish remover. I mixed everything in and proceeded to refresh by taking out 20 grams and adding 40 grams water and 40 grams flour.
Is my starter safe to use? Or should I throw it all out and start again?
Thank you,
Mira
