Like Jeffetx above, I live in a hot climate with no ac. 84 degrees in my kitchen right now, with the fans going. I'm on my second starter, the first one went great guns--on the third day it overflowed a 4-cup glass carafe and then it quit. I tried everything to revive it (fed it with wheat flour, etc.), but the most it would ever do is bubble a little bit--no expansion at all after that first rise. I think it overheated and killed most of the yeastie beasties. I'm now on day 3 of starter #2. It doubled this morning about 4 hours after the feeding, so I put it in the fridge. My question: should I bring it out of the fridge and "warm it up a bit" before I give it its nightime feeding? Thanks! Love this site!
