Turns out my starter is fucked cause I went too long in between feeding (like 2 months refrigerated.) The entire thing was gummy and tasted strong of vinegar. No wonder it was acting weird and deflating after the bulk ferment (too much acid destroying the gluten structure.) Rather than try to salvage the starter I just tossed the bread and the starter and I’m going to start over. I can’t risk getting my elderly mother sick if there is bad bacteria / mold. If I can’t buy starter from the local Amish place I will either make it myself or get some online from Amazon. I’ll make sure to feed the starter at least twice a week when refrigerated from now on. That’s my fault for believing some retard on YouTube who said you could just leave it and stir the hooch back in when you want to use it.
