Thanks for this! My starter has been languishing in the back of the fridge for quite a while, mostly forgotten. Cleaning out the refrigerator today, I decided something must be done with it. Glad to know I can still use it! It's still good....Just neglected. I do have a question, though.....You say to refrigerate the starter after you add the 3 cups of flour. What about after you initially feed the starter, just after pouring off that briney browny liquid? Do you let it sit out for several hours? Maybe I should know this answer.....Thanks! Annie, you can go ahead and refrigerate it right away if you're in a hurry, and not planning on using it in a recipe. But it would be nice to let it sit out at room temperature and start to get bubbly again, before you refrigerate it. Giving starter both regular food AND warmth is always beneficial. Let it sit till you see some bubbles; that way you know it's alive and kickin'. Good luck - PJH
