Get the free Starter Rescue Checklist. Find the symptom in front of you, follow the fix, and bring your starter back, before you give up and pour it down the drain.
Almost always cold or hungry, not dead. A warm spot and the right feed usually wakes it up.
That gray layer is hooch. It's harmless, it just means your starter is overdue to eat.
Tell harmless white film from true mold in seconds, and know exactly when to save it and when to start fresh.
Nail polish, vinegar, or just strange. Each smell points to something specific, and a specific fix.
Days, weeks, even longer. A neglected starter almost always comes back with a few warm feeds.
Dial the flavor and the strength back to where you want them with a couple of small changes.
The checklist is the two-minute version. The book is the whole rescue: a complete 7-day plan to revive a dead or failing starter, plus a clear fix for every symptom, from hooch and mold to a starter that just won't rise. Written for beginners, in plain English, no jargon.
