We're so glad you're having so much fun with your starter, Dvorah! A starter is only considered "fed" if it has been fed within the last 4-12 hours and has remained at room temp until it has reached its peak activity level. "Unfed" starter, on the other hand, can be used straight from the fridge, recognizing that the cooler temp will bring down the overall temp in your dough or batter. If making something yeasted, you can use slightly warmer liquids to compensate and/or expect a longer rise. Mollie@KAF
