My sourdough starter almost ruined my whole kitchen last month

Left it on the counter in my apartment in Austin. Forgot to feed it for five days. Came back to a huge mess. The jar lid popped off. Starter was all over the wall. Smelled like pure vinegar. Took two hours to clean. Anyone else have a starter go totally wild?

Five days is a long time for Austin heat. I'm with @diana_foster, was the jar a total loss or did you manage to save it? That vinegar smell really gets into everything.

Man, I just scraped the top layer off and kept going.

Wow, did you have to throw the jar out too?
