To Anne, on freezing starter: We were recently away from home for six weeks. Before I left, I took the loose tops off of the glass jars in which I keep my starters (regular and whole wheat). I covered the tops with plastic wrap rubber-banded around, and put them in the freezer. When we arrived home I took them out, loosened the plastic wrap and let them come to room temperature on the kitchen counter. Then I refrigerated them until I had time to feed. Worked like a charm. Don't know about really long term storage. Good luck!
