Found out my sourdough starter was basically dead after 4 weeks in the fridge
I pulled out my starter last Sunday to feed it. Didn't bubble at all after 12 hours. Looked up the Baker's Percentage guide on The Perfect Loaf website. Turns out starters need feeding every 2 weeks minimum or the yeast dies off. I had it buried behind some pickles in the back. Anyone else lose a starter from fridge neglect?

Buried mine behind a jar of olives once and found it three months later. Smelled like old gym socks and had zero activity. I tried reviving it with a few feedings but it never came back. Had to start over from scratch.
