in his defense, they look almost identical and are next to one another in the fridge but damn lol.
Luckily I have three separate starters

Is this a unique experience or..?

    I added bacon grease to my jalapeño/cheddar dough on the third stretch and fold (approximately 25 grams); it tasted great! Good thing I had gloves on, lol!

    Oh nooooo

    Tbh I can totally see myself making this mistake

    I keep a “label” (it’s really just a piece of painter’s tape) on mine with the particulars of the last feeding. I figure my husband is less likely to mistake it for a science project that needs to be thrown out!

    Id totally scoop off the top and continue on in a new jar lmao

    Once it’s cool, the grease will come right out. 

    Definitely would switch jars with a bit of your starter.

    Put it in the fridge and it’ll harden right up, then you can remove the fat and pour the starter in a new jar, should be fine, worth a try.

    Take a bit from the bottom to refeed it and make the rest into discard crackers!

    Hi. The question is why lol.

    I worries. Spoon it out and pot 15g of clean culture in a fresh jar and feed her 1:1:1. Cover with a screw down lid.

    Happy Boxing Day

    I would scrape off as much as you can and move to new jar. Leave on counter for a week and feed:discard every day. As they say in the medical field, “the solution to pollution is dilution”

    You have the right advice, but if the grease was hot when it went in the jar, remove both the grease and at least a couple inches of the starter. Taking some from the bottom where the starter might have stayed cool to take into a new jar.

    You might have something there, like peanut butter and chocolate.

  14. Bacon Bread. BACON. BREAD.

    Slap it back in the fridge, pull the bacon fat off once it sets, and make more Bacon Bread.
