Hello from Canada! Way back yonder, when the world was still covered in ice....I had an established "batch" of sourdough given to me by a friend. I was told to feed it 1 cup flour, 1/2 cup sugar & 1 cup water to keep it alive(only after using OR IF it looked "anemic"). I also kept it in a large glass peanut butter jar with a screw on lid in the refrigerator. Made biscuits, "the worlds best chocolate" cakes, bread & buns, pancakes & waffles using 1 cup monster dough for each batch. At no time did I ever discard any of my dough NOR was it ever suggested that I do so. I have read many posts you have shared on sourdough and never seen anything mentioned about refrigerating the sourdough in them. It is not an option with this/your recipe? I sure am hankerin' for a piece of that extra moist chocolate cake and am "this close" to mixing up a batch! Can you please let me know IF I can/could refrigerate this? I remember that I had to leave sit on the counter in a clean bowl, the portion I was going to use for the particular recipe. I then fed the dough and put it back in the frig.! Put the peanut butter jar back in the frig. eft it to sit until I needed it again. Thank you so much for consideration of my e-mail.
