While cleaning out my walk-in at work, I found what looked like a dormant starter. I refreshed it with water, flour and a bit of sugar. All the while, I hoped it could be revived. Overnight in a cold kitchen, what could happen? Voila, lots of action. So much for satan's spawn. This is what is key in fermentation.
