Thanks for the help, but ... no.When you say used it all, did you have any scrapings of starter left behind in the container? Any at all?
I brought starter from London to the far reaches of Devon, leaving half in my fridge, so I thought. Used it all, cooked, ate. Cleaned the kitchen, tidied and locked the cottage, ready for the next tenant (the cottage is owned by a family who let my friend take a precious week there each year, so we cleaned it thoroughly). 4 hour drive back to london, carrying the spic and span jar the starter had been in, to open the fridge and ... nada!
So by the time I realised what had happened it was probably 12 hours since the last of the starter was scrubbed and fairy-liquidated into the Devon sewage system/groundwater - yup, I have no idea about the plumbing at the cottage.
Obviously in London I thought "Shall I split the starter, or bring half of it back? Bring half back" And when I got to Devon, I was completely convinced I'd split it.
