Hi Ian, It's hard to say why your starter didn't rise after the second feeding, especially after the first feeding went so well. You sound like you know the ropes when it comes to environmental temperature, etc., so this is a little baffling. That being said, it takes a lot to kill a starter, so I'd feed it again and see what happens. This time I'd save 3 ounces of starter and feed it 3 ounces of water and 6 ounces of flour, just to give it a little more wild yeast to work with. I hope your starter bounces back with full vigor!
