I fed it again, and it bubbled up soon after. Waited 6 hours then put it back on the fridge. It’s got hooch in there again — so I guess it’s hungry again? I’ll feed it tomorrow.
Your starter looks good and festive in it’s “Santa” container! Thanks for linking to my post on sourdough starters and hooch.
can you drink the hooch?
