Any Home Bakers Here?

I weighed the "feed" I give Judy, my GF SDS. It's 1/4 c each of oat and brown rice flour. Then I set a 1/3 c on the scale, zeroed it out, and added water until it weighed the same amount. I know visually how full that 1/3 c has to be, so I don't need to measure it anymore.

Well, my sourdough starter is officially dead.
I pulled it out - took out 2 tablespoons and added 2 tablespoons of flour and 2 tablespoons of water and set it on the counter to work overnight. Nothing happening. Smelled like wet flour. Stirred again and added a little more flour. A day later it is a gray slurry and smells like mud - sorta. Just a wrong smell. It was a decent sourdough starter, but never seemed very strong. I got that one from a friend of a friend.
I guess I will send 5 buck's donation to Carl's Starter and get some "Oregen Trail" sourdough start.

I'm sorry your starter kicked the bucket.

You know, I don't know if I ever came back and thanked you. A while ago you pointed me in the right direction to help me figure out I had to adjust my GF baking because of my new altitude. Something I had not considered because technically I'm not that elevated, but indeed making adjustments helped, so thank you!

Don’t hold the funeral just yet unless it’s already been buried…..feed it but substitute pineapple juice for the water.

I actually need to try that with my sourdough starter. It’s not making a sour taste. How much Apple cider vinegar and how much of the mother starter?
