Most commercial yeast dies between 130-140°F; wild yeast might be slight more sensitive to warm temperatures. You're welcome to experiment with dehydrating your starter, but remember to keep half active as a control in case things don't turn out as expected. You can always try leave some starter to dry at room temperature as well to compare it and see which method you prefer. Happy baking! Kye@KAF
