I've been working on growing my sourdough starter all week and it looks happy. I'm making pizza crust tonight with the discard and hoping to make the sourdough multigrain boule tomorrow. I know I should keep some of the starter in the fridge for future use but I'm a bit fuzzy on the details? Do I feed it before I put it in the fridge? Do I feed it when it's in the fridge? How long does it keep?
Maintenance and feeding of your starter is all addressed on our Blog: A basic quantity of sourdough to keep is: 4 oz of starter + 4 oz flour + 4 oz water. Stir, let sit at room temperature for an hour or so to begin the feeding process, then keep in the fridge for 6 days and feed again then! Best. Kim@KAF
