I’m looking at my rye starter that sat in the fridge for a few months (5, maybe 6). It smells pleasantly, not off putting at all, kind of caramelly, but it’s its looks that worry me. There‘s some hooch on it but not a lot (approx. 1 teaspoon), it’s of a very very dark colour on top, almost black, and it looks as if its bubbles froze, well, not froze but like they formed and then fossilized. Don’t know how to describe it better. Any idea if it’s all good or should I trash it?
