Hi! I'm wondering how hot is too hot for a starter to live comfortably. I keep mine on the counter and feed it twice a day. That's worked fine through the winter and early spring. Now temperatures are creeping up quickly, and for the past few days I've found my starter feels much more liquidy/weak than it used to by the time I'm feeding it. It used to be pretty viscous, and hold together; now it's quite watery. Does this mean I need to transfer it to the refrigerator to stay healthy? Is there a good way to keep it slightly cooler than the ambient 85 degrees of my unairconditioned apartment? Thanks for all your help!
