I usually keep my starter on the counter in deli containers with small holes for venting. The other day i checked on it after forgetting to put it in the fridge while away for a few days and had found a lovely infestation of fruit flies and mold (i’m assuming from whatever contamination brought in by the flies)! Had to toss the whole container, but luckily I keep my discard. This is my first loaf back after bringing my discard back to life 🥲
Recipe is basic:
75g starter
380g water
500g white flour
11g salt
