Help! Is my sourdough starter alright? I've attached 2 photos.
I've been making mine since January 1st but suddenly it's doing this after only one day in the frigde? I was feeding it every 4-5 days and it's been fine?!?! Any input is much appreciated. βπΌ

I'd feed again, leaving it at room temperature until it fully doubles, and feed it one more time before putting back in the fridge. Since it's evening that might not be possible right now, but basically you want to feed/refresh it a few times and see if you can sort of reset it, and yeast likes room temp. If it doesn't get a normal rise, I'd say something bad (most likely a mold, or maybe some harmful bacteria) got in there and you might have to start again.
