I saw Sandra’s video that said it is really hard to kill your starter. One of the ways is if you accidentally bake it. Can you revive starter that you accidentally froze?

I feed my starter in the evening. It was on the kitchen counter. It started to rise in the jar about an inch and a half. The next morning, it was back down to the starting point. No more rise to it. It does have small bubbles and no signs of being spoiled. What to do now?

When I'm feeding my starter, I always begin with the starter in the jar, then add water, mix it up, and finish with flour. Starter - Water - Flour, every time. Is this an odd order to do it? My thinking is that I want to mix the starter with the water, before adding flour, and if I put in a little extra flour, it's very easy to spoon a dry bit off the top to get the correct amount. Why is it that starter ratios are ordered Starter - Flour - Water?

I was wondering if my smart is just sleeping? Seems to be completely in active past couple days in fridge. Just wondering if that's normal?

Hello all :) happy Thursday! I started my starter yesterday and nothing happened. I mean nothing. Do I trash it and start fresh or feed? Help!
