I think it's died. I've come home to no bubbles at. I've just fed it but I think this is going to be another failure. Should I put back outside or keep feeding it inside?

Wonder I would feed it again and see what happens. All it is going to cost you is a bit of flour.

mine sounds the same as wonder's. I fed it for 3 days and there has been no progress whatsoever. There aren't any bubbles, so I'd say it's dead....

It was looking fantastic before I bought it inside. I'll feed it for a few days and see what happens, hopefully it will resurrect itself.

If it has turned cold , like it has here, it might just be having a little sleep.

Feed it and give it a good stir, leave on the bench. If it has had bubbles at any time it is not dead. Has been know to take up to 8 days to starrt .

Thanks chookie, I'll just keep feeding and see how it goes. Is it OK to put a lid on the jar know that it's back inside or should I just leave it with the chux over it?

achookwoman · « **Reply #606 on:** October 23, 2012, 05:18:34 am »

Wonder, just leave it with nothing over the top.

I've got my second attempt sitting out in the shed. Hopefully it will survive past the back door this time.

I'm not sure if this photo will upload or not... My culture has been in the shed for 2 days and it looks like this. Should I bring it inside?

Yes, rostess. All those little bubbles are very active, it needs a good feed and stir well. Make sure you keep the food up to it. I have reconstituted some, started yesterday and have fed it 3 times already. (I test each new batch I make, to make sure it is working.)

Cookie, I'm taking some starter with me in the caravan, I've feed it and put a jar in the fridge with a lid on? Not sure if it should have a lid, I don't want it to spill, but I don't want it to die or burst the jar either,?

achookwoman · « **Reply #611 on:** October 25, 2012, 11:24:42 am »

I put the lid on when in fridge. Just leave plenty of room. Mine is 1/2 full.

Aussie Brenda · « **Reply #612 on:** October 25, 2012, 11:29:04 am »

Thanks it is about 1/2 full so should be ok.

rostess · « **Reply #613 on:** October 26, 2012, 08:30:22 am »

My starter was looking so healthy and frothy this morning and then I stirred it and now it looks lifeless

Could it be that it's too cool inside?

When I get my Thermothingy back I am making a sour dough pizza dough.

Chookie I ordered the new Mini iPad just now.
