Warning: my sourdough starter went totally flat after a power outage in Denver last month

It was out for 8 hours and the fridge temp killed the yeast. Anyone know a good way to bring a starter back from the cold?

That "killed the yeast" part is rough, but you can try feeding it with some whole grain rye flour to kickstart it.

How much rye flour would you use?

Oh man, I gotta push back a little on the rye flour idea... it's not a magic fix for killing the yeast. If the yeast is truly dead, more rye won't bring it back, you'd just end up with dead rye starter.
