Tried to salvage a collapsed sourdough starter yesterday and just made things worse
I left my starter in the back of the fridge for 3 weeks without feeding it, and when I tried to revive it with a warm water soak and extra flour, it turned into this gray, smelly sludge. Ended up tossing the whole jar and starting fresh from a friend's discard. Anyone else ever kill a starter and just have to accept the loss?

@cooper.nathan, is that sludge the yeast working or just a bad recipe feeling sorry for itself?
