My sourdough starter died after I left it in a hot car for 3 hours
I was driving home from a bake-off in Austin Texas and stopped for lunch. Forgot my starter jar was in the passenger seat during summer heat. When I got back it smelled like acetone and had a weird pinkish layer on top. I tried feeding it twice but it just wouldn't bubble up again. Had to scrap the whole thing and start over from scratch. Has anyone else lost a starter to temperature like that?
