Question -- I created my own sourdough starter from scratch last winter. Used it and fed it regularly to keep the starter going. However, I have not baked bread all summer but have left the sourdough starter in frig. It appears to be darker. Is it okay to begin feeding it again or should I toss and start over? Thank you! If the starter just has darkened and has liquid on top, it can come back to life with several feedings and some TLC. Pour off most of the liquid and start feeding just about 1/4 cup of the old starter. If there is any visible mold, or pink/orange tint, that indicated harmful bacteria and you should discard the starter. Hope it works out! ~ MaryJane
