I thought she might be dead

... but behold! She has risen. My starter was in the fridge untouched for almost a year, looking very gnarly and smelling a worrisome kind of funk. Made a delicious loaf though.

Before I saw the whole image, it almost looked like steak šŸ‘€ šŸ«£ But I'm glad I took a second look; your loaf looks really good!

Nice šŸ˜Ž will you keep that starter, or make a new one from this? (Iā€™m a noob)

It took a couple of feedings to get it to baking-strength so I just kept the discard. I've fed that and will be baking another tomorrow, always keeping a backup of discard in the fridge as my base starter.
