did i do my starter right

[elijahboy]

i put 2 cups of all purpose flour 2 cups of warm water and a .25 pack of yeast in a tall jar

this was 4 hours ago

i go into the kitchen to turn on the water and notice that my brand new mixer has batter looking stuff all over it

thinking im about to kick somebodys %%%

then i look up and notice there is alien poop dripping out my cabinets

i open the cabinet and realize that my starter ran over

i put a denim cloth over it with a rubber band but is that not enough air flow

and because it ran over did the yeasties all get away

Your jar wasn't tall enough for your powerful yeasties! No, they didn't all get away, but you did lose some volume. Proceed with your recipe, my guess is that it will still work out just fine.
