rye starter
its been 22 days since I fed by rye starter (Peter Reinharts Mother Starter-Whole Grain Breads) I'm not sure if it is still good or if I can still save it It was refrigerated the whole time.Any help would be deeply appreciated!Elaine

Save it. Start feeding it twice daily with your preferred flour blend (I use a 60/40 white AP/dark rye blend), with a ratio of 1:2:2 (1 part starter, 2 parts flour, 2 parts water). Odds are good it'll come back after a few days of feedings (starters are surprisingly resilient).
thanks fancyp- I'll give it a try.Elaine
