Hi Alex, I think there's a very good chance your starter is still viable, so it's definitely worth giving it a few twice a day feedings at room temperature to see how well it revives. Feed once in the morning and once in the evening by saving 4 ounces of starter and feeding it 4 ounces of water and 4 ounces of flour. I'm guessing within two or three days your starter will be looking and smelling a lot healthier!
