reviving a neglected starter.
OK... I was bad. I got sent out of town for work and my starter languished in the fridge for 3 weeks.
For the last week I have been trying to revive it without much luck.
Have been discarding and feeding twice a day with equal weights of flour and water with no activity at all.
No bubbles at all. It has a nice odor. No streaks or discolorations. Just sits there like a nervous prom date.
Any suggestions to save it? Or did I kill "The Beast" as we call it here.
