I've retrieved my sourdough starter from the far back wall of the fridge. it's been months since I fed it with the whole giving birth and taking care of a new babe stuff going on.

I stirred in the layer of hooch and gave it a feed. not sure if I'll bake or just refresh the starter and stick it back in the fridge for future me.

Let us know how it goes! I only gave up on sourdough because of the feeding commitment, if it can survive months in deep freeze I'm so trying it again :)

it wasn't in deep freeze, just in the back of the fridge.

it is very hard to kill a sourdough starter as long as it's established. I think of this video where he sets his sourdough starter on the kitchen counter (room temp) for THREE WEEKS 👀 while he went on vacation. he revived it and baked with it no problem.

it does take quite a bit of commitment in the beginning to get it going though. I think it took me like a month of persistence to get it mature and active enough to bake with.
