Question on storing starter in fridge. I have made my first SD bread using your Rustic Sourdough starter recipe and it was wonderful. Not as tall as I had hoped, but taste was very good. I am going to try the no-yeast version and a longer rise time for a stronger flavor next time. Anyways, I have my starter in a plastic bowl with a snap-on cover. Is this OK for storage? Should it be less airtight? thanks for all your great products, I just love everything I have ever ordered from your company. Dori Dori, there's some who think plastic isn't a good storage container for sourdough, as the acid and plastic can interact, and some of the plastic might leach into the starter. Snap-on lid is fine. But if you could use a recycled glass jar, or some kind of stoneware crock or jar instead? Might be preferable. Have fun with the no-yeast - it's more of a challenge, but more complex flavor, too. Practice makes perfect! PJH
