Rehydrate Dried Starter
I purchased a dehydrated 900 year old starter almost 3 years ago. It’s been sitting in the fridge. I tried once a couple of months ago to rehydrate it with the directions. Followed them exactly as written. The starter instead fermented into what smelled like alcohol and fruit flies made it their home. I tossed away the starter and am back to the beginning.
Is there a suggestion for a beginner way to rehydrate this? I’m 100% beginner in sourdough. Thank you for your patience and advice!
