My starter went bad after 3 days in the fridge - rookie mistake
I had this beautiful bubbly starter going for like 2 weeks. Fed it every 12 hours, it doubled in size no problem. Then I got busy and stuck it in the fridge thinking it would just chill out. 3 days later I pulled it out and it had this weird orangeish liquid on top and smelled like nail polish remover. Tried to feed it twice but it never came back. Had to dump the whole thing and start over. My buddy said I should have fed it before putting it in the fridge and left more headroom in the jar. Any tips for keeping a starter alive in the fridge longer?

Did you try scraping off the hooch and feeding just the bottom half?
