Are sourdough starters hardy?
You gotta’ luv this guy, Tom Cucuzza!
This video below runs long, but it is informative and hilarious. I run it at 1.75 speed to save time, but it was time well spent.

Here is another of Tom’s video, just incase you haven’t laughed enough.
It’s great being retired. I have time for things like this.

I knew they were hardy, but surviving bleach, wow, that I did note expect! I guess over time it evaporates and after a day the concentration is sufficiently low for the few surviving cells to grow.
Good idea about speeding up the video, I normally dislike doing that, but he speaks a little slowly and the videos are super long.
I think it's even funnier listening to it at 1.5-1.75 speed, lol. Burst out loud laughing on attempt 8 (overstuffing). ???

Dan is the one that turned me on to turning up the speed on Youtube. There are some videos that I have watched where the presenter talks so slow, at 1.5 it sounds normal to me. I was talking to someone on the phone today and with their slow manner of speech, and long pauses, I wanted to try to switch to 1.75 or 2 on the playback speed, but they don't have that for phones yet.
...and thanks!!
I watched that, but skipped through it, as you guys have said, they are rather long.
I wish someone would explain why starters sometimes get sluggish, I'm sure I could kill it if I tried, but why does it get sluggish? I'm glad I've switched to a rye starter now, I'm hoping that'll be the end of the starter problems. So far so good.
