How to salvage your sourdough starter from Serratia Marcescens (pink streaks)

[@richardmh1987]

Thank you for this, I just checked my starter last night after neglecting it for a week without keeping it in the fridge like I do, and now it has a pinkish hooch. I haven´t touched it, just placed it in the fridge until figure out what to do with it. I´ll try to save it like you did. My starter is older than my son and don´t really want to throw it away unless is absolutely necessary, besides my wife is constantly asking me to bake sourdough for her so I don´t want to start again. BTW that cake looks delicious..

I did the same thing! I had no idea that others said to toss a pink streaked sourdough starter 😮 When I saw the streaks I just thought I had got a bit of something in it! 😅 I removed all the pink I could see...fed my starter and used it smh... oops (I guess) Great video! Thanks

The pink stuff dies at 143 degrees. So it's safe to eat bread made with this. So good practices of trying to get rid of it is fine.
