Wow, you have a problem that many bakers wish they had! Your starter seems very happy. If you are keeping your starter in the fridge, we recommend feeding it about once a week. However if your starter is especially vigorous, you can experiment with extending the amount of time between feedings. This may make your bread taste a bit more sour as well. To help manage your starter a bit, try discarding about 1 cup, but only feeding it with 1/2 cup of flour (about 2 ounces) and 1/4 cup of water (2 ounces). Feeding your starter with these amounts will give it less material to go crazy on! I hope this helps get your starter under control! Kye@KAF
